Saudi crown prince meets Pakistani premier, stresses India-Pakistan dialogue
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman emphasized the need for dialogue to ease tensions between Pakistan and India, particularly regarding the Kashmir dispute. India and Pakistan have a history of conflict over the region, with recent escalation following a bombing in Kashmir traced back to Pakistan-based militants. Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh stated that India would pursue militants into Pakistan if necessary. The two countries have also been at odds over allegations of cross-border killings. Pakistan is seeking a billion investment package from Saudi Arabia to address financial difficulties.
