Saudi Arabia has appointed Major General (Retired) Rajeh Al-Buqami as its new ambassador to Pakistan, marking a significant step in strengthening the longstanding diplomatic partnership between the two countries. He succeeds Nawaf bin Saeed Al-Malki, who previously served as Saudi Arabia’s envoy to Islamabad.
Rajeh Al-Buqami officially took the oath of office alongside several newly appointed Saudi ambassadors assigned to represent the Kingdom in various friendly and brotherly nations. The appointments reflect Saudi Arabia’s continued commitment to expanding its diplomatic outreach and enhancing international cooperation.
As the new ambassador, Al-Buqami is expected to focus on deepening Saudi-Pakistan relations by promoting bilateral cooperation in key areas, including trade, investment, defense, economic development, and regional security. His appointment comes at a time when both countries continue to work closely on matters of mutual interest.
Pakistan and Saudi Arabia share decades of strong political, economic, religious, and strategic ties. The two nations have consistently supported each other on regional and international issues while maintaining close collaboration in defense, energy, and investment sectors.
Diplomatic observers believe Al-Buqami’s experience and leadership will help further strengthen the brotherly relationship between Islamabad and Riyadh, opening new opportunities for cooperation and reinforcing the strategic partnership between the two countries.
