In a joint declaration, PIAF Chairman Faheem Saigol, Senior Vice Chairman Nasrullah Mughal and Vice Chairman Tahir Manzoor Chaudhary commended the government\u2019s resolve to deepen relations with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, calling the accord a turning point for Pakistan\u2019s economic and geopolitical trajectory. Chairman Faheem Saigol emphasized that the agreement\u2014endorsed at the highest level by Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman\u2014reflects an unshakeable bond of trust between the two brotherly nations. He highlighted the pact\u2019s central clause, under which aggression against one state will be considered aggression against both, describing it not merely as a military guarantee but as a solid foundation for investor confidence. \u201cWhen capital feels secure, it flows without hesitation. This agreement sends exactly that signal to global investors, assuring them that Pakistan is a stable, predictable, and safe destination for their ventures,\u201d Saigol remarked.
