Today’s visit by the President of the UAE to Islamabad was planned to examine measures to strengthen ties of friendship and collaboration between the Gulf nation and Pakistan.
On January 25, the President of the UAE travelled privately to Pakistan. After arriving in Rahim Yar Khan, he had a secret meeting with the Prime Minister. Today was his scheduled day to travel to Islamabad.
At the Pakistan Air Force’s (PAF) Nur Khan Air Base today, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and members of the federal cabinet were scheduled to greet the president of the UAE.
Sheikh Nahyan was to be given a 21-gun salute when he was flown to the airbase by a PAF JF-17 jet.

Sheikh Nahyan gave hints about his government’s intentions to expand its investment footprint in Pakistan upon his arrival on January 25. Pakistan urgently needs foreign investment to support its faltering economy.
During a friendly conversation with the prime minister at the airport, the UAE President is quoted by the sources as stating, “Be ready, the UAE will make a significant investment in Pakistan.”
Following his meeting with the UAE President, PM Shehbaz posted on Twitter about his recent trip to the gulf nation and emphasized that both nations will seek to implement the agreements made between the two leaders in a number of areas.
