UAE, Saudi Arabia agree to extend financial support to Pakistan: Imran Yaqoob Khan
Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates (UAE) have agreed to retain loans for Pakistan. The extended facility that matured last month signals improved relations between Pakistan and the two key Gulf states.
Senior Analyst Imran Yaqoob Khan in GNN programme 'View Point' said that Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan while having a telephonic discussion with Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman had requested to ease the loan repayments on which the crown prince gave a green signal.
Imran Yaqoob further said that as per PM house sources, the top leaderships have agreed to extend the finance facility and a formal announcement would be done in coming days.
The new US administration has decided to not declare Houthi Rebels as terrorists. Muhammad Bin Zaid of UAE is playing well with his new policies and UAE-backed government including a force of retired US Army officer has been formed in South Yemen. With this progress, UAE is in better position as compared to Saudi Arabia, he argued.
