Pakistan's relations with Saudi Arabia remain as strong as ever, said Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Monday rubbishing talk of the latter demanding debt payment as speculation. Oil imports from Saudi Arabia continue, he assured.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Qureshi opined that Saudi Arabia had bided its time before taking a stance with regards to the Palestinian conflict as well. "Our stance on Kashmir is our own and we will continue to voice it," said Qureshi.

Saudi and Pakistan's relations haven't changed, he stressed, adding that the premier has made clear Islamabad's position on Palestine, in accordance with the Quaid's vision.

Last week, Chief of the Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa met with Saudi military leadership and discussed military-to-military ties, training exchanges in efforts to calm diplomatic strains between the two countries over Indian Illegally Occupied Kashmir (IIOJK).
