Pak army chief fails to meet Saudi crown prince

TIL Desk/World/Riyadh/ It seems Saudi Arabia is in no mood to mend ties with Pakistan whose Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa who flew in to Riyadh to placate an angry Saudi leadership failed to secure a meeting with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, according to reports in Pakistan media.

Bajwa along with the head of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), General Faiz Hameed, arrived in Saudi Arabia on Monday amid strained ties between the two countries.

Though Bajwa met Saudi Arabia’s Deputy Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman and Saudi Arabia’s military chief of staff General Fayyad bin Hamid Al-Ruwaili, he failed to meet the crown prince.

The decade-long friendship between both countries took a sharp turn when Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi’s issued a blunt warning to Saudi Arabia after the latter refused to act against India over Kashmir issue.
