ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister of Pakistan Shehbaz Sharif will receive the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on his arrival in Rahim Yar Khan today (Wednesday).
Prime minister Sharif, during his day-long visit to Rahim Yar Khan, will welcome the UAE president at the Chandana Airport.
“The two leaders will discuss further promotion of brotherly ties between Pakistan and the UAE as well as other matters of bilateral interest,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.
PM Sharif extended invitation
The UAE president is arriving in Pakistan at the invitation of PM Sharif, who had extended the invitation during his visit to the gulf state a few days earlier. During his visit, which was Sharif’s third tour to the UAE after taking over the prime minister’s office, he discussed matters of mutual interest with the UAE officials. The gulf country agreed to roll over $2 billion debt to Pakistan.
The UAE also announced a loan of $1 billion for the South Asian country. The two leaders also explored ways to further strengthen bilateral ties between the brotherly Islamic states; especially, in the fields of trade, investment and energy.
