United Arab Emirates’ Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan arrived in Pakistan on a two-day official visit on Sunday.

During his visit, Al Nahyan will hold talks with Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar. He will also call on Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.

“This high-level visit reflects the deep-rooted, fraternal relations between Pakistan and the UAE, and underscores the two countries’ shared commitment to strengthening bilateral cooperation across all areas of mutual interest,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

MoFA added that Al Nahyan’s talks with Dar will cover ‘the entire spectrum of bilateral relations, with particular focus on trade and investment, energy cooperation, regional security and people-to-people linkages will be reviewed during the meeting.”

The UAE foreign minister will also discuss ‘vision for peace and prosperity in the region’ with PM Shehbaz.

“The visit of His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan will further cement the longstanding Pakistan-UAE ties and contribute to deepening bilateral engagements in diverse fields, benefiting the peoples of both countries,” MoFA said.

Al Nahyan last met Dar in February this year. Both countries have a long history of cooperation in multiple fields including the economy.
