Imran Khan performs Umrah ahead of meeting with Saudi King

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday performed Umrah a day after his arrival here in Saudi Arabia — his first official visit to the Kingdom after assuming.

The doors to Kaaba, Islam’s holiest shrine at Makkah’s Grand Mosque were opened especially for the Pakistani premier, who offered nafal prayers at the sacred place.

Abdul Razak Dawood, the advisor to prime minister on commerce, textile, industry, and production, is also part of the delegation to the Kingdom, where speculation has followed Khan that his trip may be to seek economic assistance from the oil-rich ally.

“A state banquet will be hosted by King Salman at the Royal Court,” the Saudi information ministry’s Centre for International Communications said in a statement.
