Pakistan and the Kingdom are permanent partners regarding the religious, economic and security aspects and such relationships have been built on the bases of responsibilities sharing project. In this regard, the present visit of His Highness the Crown Prince imposes strategic dimensions which completes the past years work. In spite of the obstacles that Pakistan has passed through since its separation from India and through its wars with it, The occupation of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union and the rise of the two powers of Al-Qaeda and Taliban which caused damages to its political and economic condition; Pakistan kept trying to get out of coops crises through forming the good neighbor policy with India and the open cooperation policy with China while its relations with the United States kept moving between good and bad. Pakistan managed to preserve its communication with the Islamic world under which the policy of each of the Kingdom and Pakistan kept moving through a straight and clear line to the extent of that their agreement in many common factors kept moving towards positive ends rather than otherwise. The Asian Continent is not the big colony of the European countries and Japan anymore as it headed towards a new motive of large competition where the economic direction, work force and influencing the international market have moved to it. We have witnessed how some countries suffered wars and poverty such as Bangladesh and Vietnam which are heading towards healing and getting out of poverty towards the continuous development now. Pakistan, as well, has been transformed as it is no longer a state with no capabilities. Pakistan is manufacturing advanced military industries now and is trying to establish other civil industries including investing in agriculture where energies used to be frozen. The Kingdom has represented a support factor to Pakistan in various aspects and conditions due to that its links with Pakistan is neither emergent nor new but stable and developed. Prince Salman has chosen Pakistan to be his first destination because he knows that this country's civilization is deep rooted and its role in its circumference and out of it is vital. On the other hand, the Kingdom represents the base of Islam and Arabism, the influential factor in the Arab region and the power of resistance before the external interventions. Due to that Pakistan held such responsibilities under conviction and satisfied heart; it kept being an important power in the Islamic entity as it is one of the major population powers in the world that major powers cannot keep ignoring anymore. In spite of its tribal, sectarian and multi racial troubled condition, Pakistan did not lose its geographic unity and managed to heal from any sectarian or religious clash. We have hundreds of thousands of Pakistani workers in the Kingdom who represent an economic and practical support for our two countries. Furthermore, the gains out of the existence of such workforce led to a sort of brotherhood between the two nations on the basis of the shared religion and the common interest. In spite of that the two countries suffered from the problem of terrorism which caused damages to them, their unlimited cooperation for fighting it opened many channels for reinforcing their security and treating such organizations through rehabilitation or legal punishment. It is a complicated task for Pakistan if we consider the tribal and sectarian overlap and its being close to Afghanistan which dragged it towards altercations with foreign powers. However, as long as the option imposed by the condition is facing any terrorist trend; Pakistan's position kept insisting on that there are no bargains when the matter is related to the national unity, regardless of the consequences. Prince Salman is not a stranger in this brother country and that's why he has been treated as a brother and a friend during his visit to the extent that the national celebrations manifestations have embodied the spirit of such brotherhood and provided it with its big support and honest initiative.
