Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is expected to arrive in Pakistan on September 10 for a brief visit, sources said.
He is expected to stay in the country for around six hours, after which he will depart for India on a state visit.
Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz named him as Saudi Arabia’s prime minister and Prince Khalid as defence minister, a royal decree said on Tuesday.
Prince Muhammed has changed Saudi Arabia radically since he rose to power in 2017 as he led efforts to diversify the economy from dependence on oil, allowed women to drive and curbed the clerics’ power over society.
