India has taken extreme reprisals against Pakistan for the part the Islamic republic is alleged to have played in recent violence in Jummu & Kashmir. As if to compensate, the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has today promised a $20bn investment to shore up Pakistan's economy. There is a grave danger that these two Commonwealth nations could become embroiled in a Hindu-Muslim conflict, which has implications for these communities in the UK. There are also economic implications if India goes to war. One hopes that the UK government - and possibly the Palace - will work behind the scenes to reduce the tension.
