Officials at the Saudi embassy in Pakistan and the Pakistani embassy in Riyadh have said that the letter attributed to the Saudi General Authority of Civil Aviation in the Pakistani media, which called for the return of Saudis from Pakistan, was fake.
According to an Arab website, local Pakistani media reported on Saturday that Saudi nationals living in Pakistan and four other Asian countries have been asked by Gaka to return to Saudi Arabia as soon as possible, because if Saudi Arabia flies next month. Even if restored, flights from these countries will not be available. Earlier this week, Saudi Arabia announced the resumption of international flights from May 17, but maintained a ban on flights from 20 countries, including Pakistan, to prevent Corona. ۔
An official at the Saudi embassy in Islamabad told the Arab website that this was not true, that it had not been published officially, so it was incorrect. Pakistan Aviation Division spokesman Muhammad Ehtesham told the website: I have not seen any such letter issued by Saudi Civil Aviation. An official of the Pakistani embassy in Riyadh told Arab News that no official information was provided regarding the repatriation of Saudi nationals from Pakistan. "It is fake and no date has been given on it. We have no information that Saudi Arabia has asked its citizens to leave Pakistan," the official said.
