Saudi Arabia's decision to increase its financial support to Pakistan by replacing the deposits withdrawn by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) under the ongoing International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme deserves sincere appreciation. At a time when geopolitical uncertainty has intensified across the Middle East and global financial markets remain volatile, Riyadh has once again reposed its confidence in Pakistan. Such support reflects the depth of bilateral relations and reinforces Saudi Arabia's role as one of Pakistan's most dependable strategic partners.
