Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the army chief, General Raheel Sharif, will visit Saudi Arabia and Iran to diffuse the tension between them.
The top civilian and military leaders would pay a day-long visit tomorrow to meet Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud and will discuss with him the latest situation in the Middle East and the kingdom’s relations with Iran, Dawn reported.
The next stopover will be in Teheran where meetings will be held with the top Iranian leadership aimed at defusing tension with Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia cut ties with Iran, a few days after Iranian demonstrators stormed the Saudi embassy in Teheran.
Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and some other states broke off ties with Iran over the attack. The UAE downgraded relations while some others recalled their envoys in protest.
The Iranian government quickly distanced itself from the attack, saying the protesters entered the Saudi embassy despite widespread efforts by the police to stop them.
