TIL Desk/World/Islamabad/ Amid growing tension between India and Pakistan after the Pulwama terror attack, Saudi Arabia on Monday said its main objective is to “deescalate tension” between the neighbouring countries and it hopes that Delhi and Islamabad would resolve the dispute peacefully.
According to reports, while addressing the joint press conference in Islamabad, Saudi minister of state for foreign affairs Adel bin Ahmed Al- Jubeir said, “Saudi Arabia’s objective is to try to deescalate tension between the neighbouring countries. I hope that both countries would be able to resolve the dispute between them peacefully.”
The Saudi minister’s comments came in the wake of the terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama in which 40 CRPF personnel were killed when their convoy was targeted by a suicide bomber of Pakistan-backed Jaish-e-Mohammad. This development is crucial as Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman arrives in India on today.
The minister was addressing a joint press conference with Pakistan’s foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi in Islamabad during the state visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman. He also slammed Iran for accusing Pakistan of the recent attack on Iran Revolutionary Guards and said Tehran itself is a “chief sponsor of terrorism”.
