exists on both sides. In this regard, Pakistanis living in the United Arab Emirates are also
undoubtedly contributing positively to the mutual friendship between the two countries.”
“Today, we pray that the relationship between our two countries continues to grow from
strength to strength in the times to come. On this special occasion, the entire Pakistani nation joins in wishing the United Arab Emirates continued peace, progress, and prosperity. Long live Pakistan-UAE friendship,” he concluded.
