[ALMANAR.LB] Saudi Arabia has extended a financial and economic assistance of 122 million dollars to Pakistan which is the highest amount Riyadh has officially given to Islamabad in the last five years.
The signing ceremony for the grant, which includes a 67 million dollars package, took place the day Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and army chief General Raheel Sharif were attending the closing ceremony of the multi-nation 'Thunder of the North' military exercise in Saudi Arabia.
Pakistan is a member of the military alliance of Muslim countries that Saudi Arabia formed late last year to fight terrorism.
