ISLAMABAD, January 1: Abu Dhabi’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is expected to arrive in Islamabad on Thursday for a day-long visit, according to a statement from the UAE envoy reported by local media.
The crown prince is expected to hold meetings with Prime Minister Imran Khan and other senior government officials. The envoy was quoted as saying that the trip will focus on strengthening “the bonds of friendship between the two brotherly countries”.
The announcement comes after the crown prince met Chief of Army Staff Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa on December 14. In the meeting between the two, ways to enhance cooperation between the two countries were discussed.
Last year, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan had visited Pakistan for one-on-one meetings with PM Imran, followed by delegation-level talks.
This is also the second visit by an Arab leader in just two weeks. Last month, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud had visited Pakistan for a day-long trip.-Agencies
