Pakistan’s popular drama serial ‘Dhoop Kinare’ will be aired in Saudi Arabia this year with Arabic dubbing. This is the first time Pakistan Television has dubbed a local TV production for Saudi viewers. The agreement between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan was signed due to which Pakistan will provide its dramas to Saudi Arabia as cultural exchange program.
To enhance cultural exchanges between the two countries, it was decided to form a Pak-Saudi ministerial committee on information and culture during the crown prince’s February visit. The two sides, he informed, were still working on that.
Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry revealed in a press conference in Riyadh that Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are in talks for increasing cultural exchange between the two countries.
He said that Pakistan wished to participate in Saudi Arabia’s cultural revival and is willing to support its newly established performing arts academies by sharing the expertise of our actors, directors and other artists like calligraphers.
Usman Khalid Butt described this as a great initiative. “Our drama will get more global audience. In today’s world, if the content is good, language does not become a barrier. Pakistani actors will get greater international exposure through this.”
