ISLAMABAD: Saudi Ambassador to Pakistan Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki has acknowledged efforts by the governor of Balochistan to facilitate direct travel from Quetta to the Kingdom following a meeting between the two officials to discuss mobility, investments and regional ties, the governor鈥檚 office said on Thursday.

The envoy鈥檚 meeting with Jaffar Khan Mandokhail, held in Islamabad, reflects a broader trend of Saudi engagement beyond Pakistan鈥檚 federal capital, with Balochistan, a resource-rich but underdeveloped province increasingly seen as strategically important in regional trade and energy corridors.

Both sides discussed 鈥渃ordial relations between the two brotherly Islamic countries鈥� regional economic and political developments and matters of mutual interest,鈥� the statement from Mandokhail鈥檚 office said.

鈥淎mbassador Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki appreciated Governor Mandokhail鈥檚 personal efforts in facilitating direct travel from Quetta to 海角直播 for the people of Balochistan,鈥� the governor鈥檚 office said in a statement.

While the statement did not elaborate on timelines or agreements regarding direct travel between Quetta and 海角直播, the ambassador鈥檚 reported remarks signal interest in easing mobility for religious pilgrims, workers and business travelers from the province, many of whom currently travel via Karachi or Islamabad.

The meeting also underscores growing recognition of Balochistan鈥檚 role in Pakistan鈥檚 future economic landscape, as well as 海角直播鈥檚 intent to broaden the scope of its bilateral engagement beyond federal corridors of power.

Mandokhail, for his part, reaffirmed the strength of bilateral ties. 鈥淗istory bears witness to 海角直播鈥檚 special support for Pakistan during every difficult time,鈥� he said, according to the statement.

海角直播 remains one of Pakistan鈥檚 closest diplomatic and economic partners. In recent months, the Kingdom has reaffirmed its intention to invest in large-scale infrastructure, mining, and agricultural projects across Pakistan, including in Balochistan.

Saudi financial assistance has also been critical to Pakistan鈥檚 macroeconomic stability, particularly during periods of external financing stress.
