Saudi Arabia crown prince Mohammad Bin Salman has reportedly signed a massive deal with Pakistan, and this has come across as a shocker for India as the nation had been expecting support from Saudi in capturing Maulana Masood and calling him a global terrorist.
The prince who is on a south Asian and Chinese trip went to Pakistan yesterday and now since Pakistan is in a severe financial and payment related crunch; they have struck deals with Saudi Arabia. Pakistan has a very minimal 8 Bn $ reserves in the central bank and they are seeking funds from all possible friendly nations to make less borrowing from IMF.
Deals were made in mining and energy sectors, besides an oil refinery in Gwadar worth $8 bn. Saudi has also issued a joint statement with Pakistan not to politicize the UN regime list. It should be noted that Imran Khan recently drove a car for the Prince of Saudi.
