Ministers and top officials are part of Saudi Arabia’s delegation to the G20 conference, which is being led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. In particular, the G20 summit will be held in Bali from November 15 to 16, capping up Indonesia’s presidency.
From December 1, India will hold the G20 presidency. Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and US President Joe Biden have assembled at the G20 site to take part in the conference.
The 17th G20 Summit, under the motto “Recover Together, Recover Stronger,” will pay close attention to major global concerns. Three working sessions on health, digital transformation, and food and energy security will be placed as part of the G20 Summit agenda.
According to ARY News, which cited a Foreign Ministry official, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s formal visit to Pakistan has been postponed. On November 21, the Saudi Prince was supposed to travel to Pakistan.
No explanation for the delay has been provided. Despite the political unrest in the nation, the leadership of Pakistan was upbeat about Mohammed bin Salman’s visit, according to the media reports.
Prior to this, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the foreign minister of Pakistan, made a two-day trip to Saudi Arabia to finalise preparations for Mohammed bin Salman’s visit. However, it appears that their efforts were in fruitless because the Saudi Crown Prince’s visit has apparently been postponed.
