WAM

The UAE and Pakistan have reaffirmed their strong and strategic ties during high-level talks held in Islamabad.

His Highness Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, met with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif as part of a working visit to strengthen bilateral cooperation.

The meeting, also attended by Pakistan’s Army Chief General Asim Munir, focused on expanding collaboration in key areas including trade, investment and development.

The leaders reviewed progress made since the February visit of Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and discussed regional and global developments of mutual interest.

Sheikh Abdullah expressed pride in visiting Pakistan and emphasised both countries' commitment to advancing their partnership for mutual prosperity.


Sheikh Abdullah also held talks with Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.

The two sides signed an agreement to boost cultural ties and two MoUs, including one to form a UAE-Pakistan Joint Business Council and another to establish a Joint Consular Affairs Committee.
