The title was given by Saudi Minister for Investment Khalid Al-Falih to PM Shehbaz during the latter's meeting with the former, in which Saudia's Minister for Finance Mohammad Al Jadaan, and Minister for Industry Bandar bin Ibrahim Alkhourayef were also in attendance.

“We are all aware of your performance and speed of work. Your mission is our mission,” Khalid Al-Falih remarked
