HRH is on an important visit aimed at strengthening the relations between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. His visit comes as a prelude to the upcoming visit of Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Prince Salman Ben Abdul Aziz to Pakistan. During his stay in the capital Islamabad, he will undertake visit to important historic sites as well. The Prince will visit Sultana Foundation tomorrow along with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Sultana Foundation is one of the leading NGO working in the area of Education & Human Development for the past 20 years.
He is one of the key members of the royal family of Saudi Arabia. 'The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, that you see today is really the custodian, has inherited an incredible history and basically what we are doing today world-wide, and our position today in the world now, initiatives that King Abdullah - a very energetic and a very diligent King has been pushing these big issues around the world in terms of whether its the terror issues, or the world economy, the stabilising role Saudi Arabia plays in the world economy - a bigger role- is really build upon really thousands of years of civilisations' the prince was quoted to having said in a recent interview. Adding 'So we are basically the custodians of great civilizations and we continue that role. It's not an invented role, it's not a new role, it's a rightful place for us to be and we cherish that role and we welcome it and we want to share it with the world.'
