RIYADH, 28 August 2022, (TON): Saudi Arabia express solidarity with Pakistan after floods in the Asian nation claimed the lives of hundreds of people and prompted the government to call a state of emergency.

A Saudi ministry of foreign affairs statement said “the Kingdom has offered sincere condolences to the families of the deceased and wished a speedy recovery for the injured.”
