Jeddah: Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have agreed to intensify diplomatic efforts to prevent the current regional tensions from escalating into a wider conflict among Muslim countries, according to a report by The News<\/em> citing sources familiar with high-level discussions held in Jeddah. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The understanding emerged during a brief but significant visit by Pakistan\u2019s Prime Minister to Saudi Arabia amid growing instability in the Middle East.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was accompanied by Asim Munir, Pakistan\u2019s Chief of Army Staff and Chief of Defence Forces, as well as Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delegation held talks with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to discuss the rapidly evolving security situation in the region and explore ways to reduce tensions through diplomacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to sources, both sides agreed that the situation requires urgent diplomatic engagement to prevent escalation and ensure that disputes are addressed through dialogue rather than confrontation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The leaders reiterated their longstanding position that conflicts within the Muslim world must be avoided and that every possible effort should be made to stop the crisis from turning into a broader confrontation among Muslim states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, the Pakistani delegation expressed strong solidarity with Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed that Pakistan has consistently supported the Kingdom\u2019s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials also highlighted the special importance of Saudi Arabia as the custodian of Islam\u2019s holiest sites, describing their protection as a matter of honour and responsibility for Pakistan and its armed forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sources further noted the symbolic significance of Field Marshal Munir attending the meeting in combat uniform, which was interpreted as a signal that Pakistan\u2019s civilian and military leadership stand united in their commitment to Saudi Arabia\u2019s security. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Saudi Crown Prince also hosted an exclusive dinner for the Pakistani delegation, attended only by Prime Minister Sharif, Deputy Prime Minister Dar and General Munir \u2014 a gesture widely seen as reflecting the close strategic partnership between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials said both sides agreed that at a time of heightened tensions in the Middle East, it is essential to reduce hostilities, prevent further escalation and promote unity and stability across the Muslim world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
