Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman is likely to visit Pakistan after accepting an official invitation from Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The visit, according to the Foreign Office, is expected to take place before December 31, 2025.
Officials have described this development as a significant step towards deepening Pakistan–Saudi Arabia relations. Both countries share long-standing political, economic, and cultural ties, and the Crown Prince’s visit is expected to further enhance cooperation in key areas.
Sources suggest that the agenda may include discussions on trade, investment, energy collaboration, and regional security. With Saudi Arabia already one of Pakistan’s largest trading partners and a major source of exports, the visit carries high economic importance.
Diplomatic observers also see the Crown Prince’s trip as a boost for Pakistan’s foreign policy, as it reflects Riyadh’s willingness to strengthen strategic and economic engagement. In recent years, Saudi investments in Pakistan have expanded, particularly in the energy and infrastructure sectors.
The visit is anticipated to be used by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to promote new international ties and to recognize Saudi Arabia’s continuous assistance during difficult political and economic circumstances. The trip is a chance for Pakistan to strengthen ties with one of its closest neighbors.
While exact dates are yet to be confirmed, preparations are already underway. If finalized, Mohammed bin Salman’s visit will mark another milestone in the historic partnership between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
