A press release issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (FO) on Tuesday said that during his visit, the Prime Minister will meet the President of the United Arab Emirates with a particular focus on deepening economic, trade, and investment ties between the two brotherly countries and creating greater opportunities for Pakistan workforce in the United Arab Emirates.
“The two leaders will also exchange views on several regional and global issues of common concern,” the press release added.
Prime Minister Shehbaz will meet Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The statement said he will also hold meetings with Emirati businessmen and investors to discuss ways to boost bilateral trade and investment.
This is the Prime Minister’s third visit to the UAE since taking office in April 2022.
Prime Minister Shehbaz first visited Abu Dhabi on a day-long trip to the UAE in April 2022. His second visit was on his way back from the United Kingdom in May 2022, when he landed in the UAE to offer his condolences on the death of their former president. Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The Prime Minister’s trip comes after Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Asim Munir’s visit to the Middle Eastern country.
The UAE state news agency WAM reported earlier this week that COAS Munir called on the Emirati president at Qasr Al Shati Palace and reviewed bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
