CA Pakistan and Muslim World

Pakistan has always maintained close ties with the Muslim world due to shared religious and cultural bonds. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in particular have a long-standing friendship based on being the custodian of Islam's holiest sites and sharing ancestry, culture, and economic interests. However, there have also been some irritants over issues like sectarianism, strategic competition with Iran, and Saudi's growing ties with India. The relationship has evolved over decades and been tested through wars and sanctions, but Saudi support has remained crucial for Pakistan, especially economically and militarily. Recent issues include disagreements over Yemen and recognition of Israel.
