On Sunday, the premier had requested MBS to look into the hardships of the Pakistani labourers in Saudi Arabia. He especially requested the Saudi crown prince to look upon the Pakistani laborers who were close to his heart as their own.
"There are some 3,000 Pakistani prisoners there and we just would like you to bear in mind that they are poor people who have left their families behind," PM Khan said. In response, the Saudi crown prince said that the premier could consider him the ambassador of Pakistan in Saudi Arabia. He said that the kingdom will whatever it can and will deliver that.
