Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has embarked on a spiritual journey to Saudi Arabia to perform Umrah during the blessed month of Ramazan. Accompanying her on this visit is Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, highlighting a significant occasion for the Sharif family.

Before her departure, Maryam Nawaz met with her father, former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who offered prayers for her well-being and a successful pilgrimage. Her visit comes as millions of Muslims from around the world flock to the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah to seek divine blessings during this sacred month.

While the spiritual aspect of this journey remains at the forefront, the visit also holds diplomatic significance. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has been actively engaging with top Saudi leadership to strengthen bilateral relations and promote investment opportunities in various sectors, including energy, infrastructure, agriculture, and technology under the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC). His discussions reaffirm Pakistan’s commitment to fostering an investor-friendly environment for Saudi businesses.

Maryam Nawaz’s presence in Saudi Arabia during Ramazan underscores the deep spiritual and diplomatic ties between Pakistan and the Kingdom. As she undertakes this holy pilgrimage, the visit is expected to reinforce the longstanding bond between the two nations while offering a moment of personal reflection and devotion for the Punjab CM.
