Islamabad, Safar 15, 1440, October 24, 2018, SPA -- Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan thanked Saudi Arabia for providing economic support for his country. He said in a televised address addressed to the people of Pakistan this evening that the kingdom has provided a new economic package for Pakistan. He added that the economic support provided by the Kingdom for Pakistan will bring the country out of the economic crisis without a wave of high cost of living, as opposed to loans obtained from the International Monetary Fund, which lead to higher prices which adversely affect the ordinary citizen. --SPA 23:08 LOCAL TIME 20:08 GMT 0040 www.spa.gov.sa/w775266
