KJ narrates this report in his own voice

Former army chief General (retd) Raheel Sharif was pictured alongside Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner at the US-Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh.

US President Donald Trump and key members of his administration were recently in Saudi Arabia to attend the summit. Heads of Muslim countries, including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, were also there.

The former chief of army staff was in attendance too as the head of the Saudi-led Islamic military alliance.

A picture circulating on Twitter showed General Raheel dining with Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Saudi Crown Prince and Defence Minister Muhammad Bin Salman.

The visit was aimed at ways to enhance cooperation between the US and the Muslim countries in the fight against extremism.

The 70-year-old president’s travel to Saudi Arabia, Israel, Italy and Belgium will be Trump’s longest time away from the White House since he took office four months ago.
