Islamabad (HRNW) A high-powered United Arab Emirates (UAE) delegation visited Pakistan today (Tuesday) to explore opportunities on the economic front after Islamabad sought a multibillion-dollar investment from Abu Dhabi, the Prime Minister’s Office said.
According to the statement issued from the PM House, the high-level visit during the Eid holidays exhibited the keenness of the UAE to invest in Pakistan.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif welcomed the “brotherly gesture”, and expressed his interest to welcome significant investments from the “Emirati brothers”.
The two sides have agreed to strengthen bilateral economic cooperation including in the fields of trade, energy, infrastructure, petroleum and other sectors, the statement added.
The delegation has pledged to stay in close contact for the implementation of the investment and trade decisions made at the leadership level.
PM Shehbaz, on his return from Saudi Arabia, had stopped in the UAE last week to hold a meeting with President Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan and other top officials where he had urged the senior officials to explore investment opportunities in Pakistan.
