Saudi Arabia condemned in the strongest terms today, Saturday, the attempt to assassinate Pakistan's ambassador to Afghanistan through an attack targeting its embassy in the capital, Kabul.
In a statement, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed "the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's condemnation and strong denunciation of the armed attack on the embassy of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in the Afghan capital, Kabul, and the failed attempt to assassinate the Chargé d'Affaires of the Pakistani embassy."
The ministry reaffirmed the Kingdom's firm position calling for renouncing violence and terrorism wherever it may be, expressing the Kingdom's full solidarity and standing by Pakistan and its brotherly people in the face of terrorism.
On Friday, the Pakistani ambassador to Afghanistan, Obaid Rahman Nizamani, was attacked, which the Pakistani Foreign Ministry described as an "assassination attempt."
Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif condemned the assassination attempt that targeted the head of the mission, and Sharif called - in a tweet on Twitter - for an immediate investigation and action against the perpetrators of this heinous act.
