LONDON, April 15 (Reuters) - Pakistan's international

bonds rallied on Wednesday on news that Saudi Arabia will

provide $3 billion in additional support to help the South Asian

nation bridge a multibillion dollar gap in its finances linked

to a repayment to the United Arab Emirates.

Dollar-denominated bonds maturing in 2031 and 2036 both

gained 0.8 cents, the latter bid at 97.77 cents on the dollar,

Tradeweb data showed.

The bonds are trading at their strongest level since late

February, when Israel and the United States launched strikes

against Iran, setting off a wider conflict across the region.
