Islamabad, Mar 18: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will visit Saudi Arabia from March 19-22 to strengthen bilateral ties and enhance economic cooperation, the Foreign Office said on Tuesday.

A FO statement said Sharif’s delegation will include Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, key federal ministers and senior officials.

During the visit, the prime minister will meet Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the statement said.
