RIYADH: Prime minister expressed "solidarity" with Saudi Arabia during a visit on Thursday, a Pakistani official said. "The main focus was for solidarity with Saudi Arabia" in line with earlier commitments from Islamabad to defend the kingdom's territorial integrity, the official told AFP. In a unanimous resolution Pakistan backed the government's commitment to protect Saudi territory, which was not directly threatened during the conflict although there were armed skirmishes along the border.
The Pakistani official said parliament's decision was "not at all" a point of contention with the Saudis. "The two countries have the type of relations which are pretty mature. They understand what parliament's position was," he said, asking for anonymity. Saudi Arabia's official press agency only said talks covered bilateral, regional and other issues.
