Islamabad: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif will undertake a two-day official visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) from February 10-11 to participate in the World Governments Summit (WGS) in Dubai.
A spokesperson from the Foreign Office stated on Sunday, “The Summit will bring together a large number of Heads of State/Government, global policymakers, and leading private sector figures to discuss the future of governance, innovation, and international cooperation.”
This will be Prime Minister Shehbaz’s second visit to the UAE since taking office in March 2024.
He will be accompanied by a high-level delegation, including Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar and other key cabinet members, reflecting Pakistan’s strong commitment to deepening its engagement with the UAE and other global partners.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will deliver a keynote address at the WGS, highlighting Pakistan’s vision for inclusive economic growth, digital transformation, and governance reforms.
He will also hold bilateral meetings with the UAE leadership and engage with Heads of State/Government from participating countries and leading CEOs of major multinational companies.
“Pakistan and the UAE share a deep-rooted brotherly relationship based on mutual trust, understanding, and long-standing mutually beneficial cooperation. The UAE remains one of Pakistan’s key economic and strategic partners, with strong collaboration across multiple sectors,” the spokesperson said.
The Pakistani diaspora in the UAE, the second-largest Pakistani expatriate community worldwide, continues to play a pivotal role in the development and success of both countries, serving as a bridge between the two nations.
“The Prime Minister’s visit underscores Pakistan’s unwavering commitment to further strengthening its ties with the UAE, fostering greater economic collaboration, and exploring new avenues of partnership for mutual prosperity,” the statement concluded.
