Ambassador of Saudi Arabia, Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki has reiterated the Kingdom’s firm commitment saying the government of Saudi Arabia under the leadership of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman will always stand by “Pakistani brothers to take our brotherly relations to new heights.”
He was addressing the launch of the Project for the Provision and Distribution of Shelter Non-Food Items (NFIs) and Winter Kits 2023-24 for Pakistan’s flood and calamity affected people.
Caretaker Federal Minister for Religious Affairs, Aneeq Ahmed was the Chief Guest on the occasion. Director of the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Centre, Pakistan Office, Dr Khalid Al-Othmani also attended the annual donation ceremony.
While paying rich tributes to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Religious Affairs Minister said the people of Saudi Arabia and Pakistan are not ‘like brothers and sisters. They are in fact brothers and sisters’ and the generous gesture of distributing 25,000 Shelter NFIs (Non-Food Items) and 25,000 winter kits across Pakistan demonstrated that bond of brotherhood. Of my many engagements so far, this is the best so far when I am experiencing the Saudi government’s sincerity and generosity towards the Pakistanis.
Ambassador Al-Malki while reiterating his government’s commitment towards the flood-hit people said the project was planned to be implemented in four phases and in all the four provinces providing help to individuals who have been affected by recent floods and are in need of assistance. This collaborative effort is being conducted in partnership with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), he said.
