Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan arrived in Rawalpindi on Thursday on a one-day official visit focused on investment and economic cooperation.
Pakistan and the UAE share close diplomatic, economic, and cultural ties. The UAE is one of Pakistan’s largest trading partners in the Middle East and a major source of remittances, with a large Pakistani expatriate population living and working there.
President Asif Ali Zardari, his daughter MNA Aseefa Zardari-Bhutto and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif received the crown prince after he landed at the Nur Khan Airbase in Rawalpindi.
Prince Khaled shook hands with the president, the premier, and Deputy PM Ishaq Dar as they greeted him.
According to a statement from the FO, the crown prince was set to be accompanied on the trip by ministers, senior officials and prominent members of the business community.
“This visit underscores the deep-rooted fraternal ties between Pakistan and the UAE and reflects the shared commitment to further strengthen bilateral economic partnership,” the FO highlighted.
It said the crown prince would engage with the Pakistani leadership on matters of mutual interest while reinforcing historical ties and fostering economic and investment cooperation, adding that both nations would sign agreements “to bolster [the] existing robust framework for long-term collaboration in multifaceted sectors”.
“These commitments are expected to open new opportunities for joint ventures and projects aimed at furthering economic cooperation between both the countries and their peoples,” the FO said.
Officials said several agreements and memorandums of understanding would be signed to enhance colaboration in multiple sectors, fostering long-term economic partnerships.
