The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), the world's oldest defence think tank, has credited General Qamar Javed Bajwa for taking the Saudi–Pakistan relationship out of the personal domain into the institutional and for calming relations between both countries in recent days.

The analysis says General Bajwa’s visit to Saudi Arabia last week, contrary to media hype, was to reassure the Saudis and continue the defence relationship. General Bajwa and Crown Prince Muhammad Bin Salman (MBS) have made the relationship more realistic where both countries help each other beyond slogans and history.

The analysis said: “General Bajwa has steered the institutional relationship away from personalities and one-man shows. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman has done much the same. This has led to the first-ever private-led investment by a Saudi entity in Pakistan. Seen from this perspective, the $1-billion debt payback demand is a paltry sum, compared to the almost $20-billion private investment into Pakistan.”
