ISLAMABAD, October 14, 2026 — President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday received the credentials of Saudi Arabia’s Ambassador-designate to Pakistan, Dr Rajeh Tami Albugamy, at Aiwan-e-Sadr, marking a formal step in the envoy’s diplomatic appointment.
The presentation of credentials is a key diplomatic procedure through which an ambassador-designate is formally accredited to represent their country in the host nation.
The development comes amid longstanding diplomatic ties and a strategic partnership between Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, underpinned by cooperation in political, economic and security affairs.
