According to media reports, Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud invited Nawaz and his brother, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, to perform Umrah as a goodwill gesture.
The Sharif family arrived in Saudi Arabia on April 11 and plan to stay there for some time. Nawaz Sharif may hold a meeting with King Salman bin Abdul Aziz during his stay in Jeddah, as sources suggest.
