ISLAMABAD: A team of economic experts from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is scheduled to arrive Tuesday to discuss the implementation of decisions made by the leadership of Pakistan and the oil-rich country.
Earlier during his visit, PM Shehbaz had met Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces. They had discussed advancing the longstanding relations between the two nations, and the prospects of propelling cooperation on various fronts. The two sides had reviewed a number of regional and international issues of common concern, according to the Emirates News Agency.
In a series of tweets on Monday, the Prime Minister’s Office said the delegation of economic experts is visiting the country to ensure implementation of the decisions taken during the meeting a day earlier.
During their visit on Tuesday, the team members would also meet Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Lahore.
The delegation would also interact with the government’s economic team and deliberate on the ways to accelerate the economic activities between the two countries.
The prime minister would also host a dinner reception for the delegation which would also discuss the promotion of economic and trade relations as well as the investment.
The members of the delegation would be apprised of a conducive atmosphere for investment in Pakistan.
The discussion on cooperation in the fields of energy, economy, and petroleum industry is also on the agenda.
Last year, Pakistan and the UAE had celebrated 50 years of diplomatic relations. The Gulf country had also decided to roll over a $2 billion loan to Pakistan in April 2021, with the UAE foreign minister affirming commitment to “extend every possible support”.
