United Arab Emirates President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan will be arriving in Islamabad today on his first official visit to Pakistan. This will be the second time the Emirati president will visit Pakistan this year, having met Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Rahim Yar Khan in January. However, Friday’s trip, according to the FO, is his first official visit as president.
According to a statement by the Foreign Office (FO), President Al Nahyan will review the entire spectrum of bilateral relations with PM Shehbaz and the pair will “exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual interest”. “The visit will provide an important opportunity to further strengthen the longstanding brotherly relations between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates,” the FO said.
