Saudi crown prince delays visit to Pakistan by a day

ISLAMABAD — Pakistani officials say the visit of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been delayed by a day.

Without giving any explanation for the delay, the Foreign Ministry says Prince Mohammad will now arrive in Islamabad on a two-day visit on Sunday and that his program remains unchanged.

The crown prince is expected to sign investment agreements worth billions of dollars. He will also travel to neighbouring India amid heightened tension between Islamabad and New Delhi over this week’s attack on a paramilitary convoy in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 41 people.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi blamed Pakistan for Thursday’s bombing.

Pakistan rejected the allegation and has lodged a protest over the Indian accusations.
