ISLAMABAD — Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has arrived in Pakistan’s capital for a four-day regional visit.

During his two-day stay in Pakistan, the crown prince is expected to sign agreements worth billions of dollars for investments in the country.

He will later travel to India amid heightened tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi over this week’s attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir that killed 41 troops.
