ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has wished for the swift recovery of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman bin Abdulaziz who was earlier admitted to a hospital.
Saudi Arabia’s 84-year-old ruler, King Salman bin Abdulaziz, has been admitted to hospital in the capital Riyadh, suffering from inflammation of the gall bladder.
