Pakistan expresses solidarity with ally Saudi Arabia following US criticism of Riyadh-led oil cartel's decision to cut output and President Biden's remarks that Islamabad has 'nuclear weapons without any cohesion'
Islamabad says it stands with Riyadh"in the wake of statements made against the kingdom", and hails the oil cartel's decision to cut production by two million barrels a day.
Pakistan has thrown its weight behind longtime ally Saudi Arabia amid an ongoing rift over global oil production cuts and the US threatening Riyadh with consequences. The statement was issued by the ministry amid increasing tensions between Saudi Arabia and the US, with the latter strongly opposing the proposed oil production cuts by the kingdom-led oil cartel, OPEC+, calling it a "moral and military support" for Russia's ongoing attacks against Ukraine.
Pakistan's reaction comes days after US President Joe Biden expressed "doubts" over the safety of Islamabad's nuclear programme at a fundraiser.
