Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 provides opportunities to Pakistan to engage with it in realizing Naya Pakistan’s ambitious plan.

In an interview with Saudi Arabia’s Al-Riyadh newspaper published on Sunday, Prime Minister said there were significant complementarities in the socio-economic fundamentals of the “Naya Pakistan” and the Saudi Vision 2030.

The Prime Minister said both lay emphasis on economic opportunity and diversity, domestic growth, modernization and development, and trade linkages and connectivity.

He said Pakistan can contribute skilled and semi-skilled manpower with Saudi Arabia besides sharing its expertise in other sectors like IT, infrastructure development, and agriculture.

Imran Khan said Pakistan and Saudi Arabia have historically enjoyed long-standing fraternal ties, rooted deep in common faith, shared history and mutual support.

He said both countries have stood by each other, through thick and thin, regardless of the change in leadership.
