The statement is all the more significant considering that Saudi Arabia has routinely endorsed at various fora the Pakistani stance for a nuclear-free South Asia which targets Indian nuclear weapons. This is sure to upset Pakistan no end and undoubtedly there will be many
demarches issued to Riyadh on this count as well.
Pakistan is further likely to be miffed to discover that Saudi Arabia
ringingly endorsed the Indian role in Afghanistan by expressing its "full support" in the joint statement for efforts aimed at helping Afghanistan achieve social and economic development. Saudi Arabia also seems to have given up its support for the Taliban by agreeing to a formulation that condemns terrorist organisations.
In the next days there are sure to be Israeli demarches to New Delhi, Pakistani demarches to Riyadh and Iranian demarches to both Riyadh and Delhi.
Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?
