Nawaz Sharif is to meet Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah on Friday to discuss plans to return to his homeland, a party spokesman said. The Saudi monarch sent a special plane on Thursday which fetched Sharif from the Red Sea city of Jeddah and took him to the capital Riyadh, said Ahsan Iqbal, a spokesman for the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
"He is to meet the King tomorrow. After their meeting the details of the return of Nawaz Sharif will come to light," Iqbal told AFP. The development comes a day after Musharraf returned from a visit to Saudi Arabia for talks with King Abdullah which a Pakistani official said focused on efforts to keep the ex-prime minister in the Arab kingdom.
Iqbal said Musharraf "had gone to Saudi Arabia to request the Saudi leadership to keep Nawaz Sharif in the country till the general elections, but he has not accepted it." "Musharraf has tried to make Saudi Arabia a party into Pakistani politics which is not acceptable," he added.
