20 riyals new currency note remains in the news for its high-quality security features and a distinctive design that borrowed from the G20 logo.

With all its technical specifications, the note became controversial in the region due to its border depictions.

Carrying the picture of King Salman bin Abdul Aziz Al-Saud on the front, the backside features a world map, displaying the G20 countries in a different color.

However, the map does not show Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir as parts of Pakistan. Rather, Kashmir and GB depicted as an independent territory.

Besides, it shows a border between Pakistan and AJK/GB, depicting the entire region as an independent territory.

The government of Pakistan remain tight lipped on the matter.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman aka MBS had announced $60 billion investments in the oil refinery sector in India.

In April 2016, Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz had conferred the highest King Abdul Aziz Saudi award upon Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
