The United Arab Emirates’ foreign minister and deputy prime minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, will make a two-day official visit to Pakistan on April 20. The strength of the nations’ political and economic ties is demonstrated by this visit.
The UAE has been a crucial friend for decades, being Pakistan’s largest commercial partner after the US and China. With more than $10 billion in investments over the past 20 years, the UAE has had a significant impact on Pakistan’s economy. Furthermore, more than a million Pakistanis live in the United Arab Emirates, where their remittances greatly stimulate Pakistan’s economy.
The visit follows a series of agreements aimed at fostering cooperation in critical areas like banking, mining, and infrastructure in recent years. These initiatives demonstrate both countries’ commitment to increased commerce and mutual growth. Pakistan sees the UAE as an ideal trading partner, benefiting from its geographic proximity, which reduces shipping costs and simplifies commerce.
