Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan held a phone call with his Pakistani counterpart Ishaq Dar on Friday to discuss the latest regional developments and ongoing efforts to ease tensions in the region.

According to the Saudi Press Agency (SPA), the two sides also explored ways to strengthen bilateral relations across various fields during their conversation.

This diplomatic exchange comes amid escalating tensions between Pakistan and India following a deadly militant attack on tourists in the Indian-administered sector of Kashmir last Tuesday. The assault resulted in 28 fatalities and left several others wounded.
