ISLAMABAD: Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman has said Saudi Arabia has signed investment agreements worth $20 billion during his visit to Pakistan, agency reports said.

He said the $20 billion figure represents the start of an economic tie-up aimed at bringing the historic Muslim allies closer.

Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has kicked off his tour of South Asia and China, according to agencies.

However, his visit is at risk of being overshadowed by Pakistan’s growing tensions with India. Last week a suicide bomber killed 44 Indian paramilitary police in the disputed Kashmir region. Indian has accused Pakistan of having a hand in the bombing, which Pakistan denies. (Agencies)
