Sharif begins 3-day Saudi visit, pushes defence ties amid West Asia escalation

Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif began a three-day official visit to Saudi Arabia, aiming to bolster defense and strategic ties between the two nations. The visit occurs against a backdrop of rising tensions in West Asia, particularly concerning the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandeb Strait, where attacks on commercial shipping have prompted Gulf states to seek greater regional security coordination. During the visit, Sharif is set to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, focusing on deepening bilateral relations and addressing shared regional and global concerns. This follows Saudi Arabia's recent proposal for a Multinational Maritime Defence Coalition, which Pakistan supports, emphasizing the need to protect maritime trade routes and ensure the safe passage of commercial ships.
