Pakistan FM Shah Mehmood Qureshi lands in UAE for an important visit

DUBAI - Foreign Minister (FM) Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Thursday arrived in Dubai on a two-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Pakistan’s Consul General in Dubai Ahmed Amjad Ali, senior officers of the embassy, and senior officials from the UAE ministry of Foreign Affairs received the FM Qureshi at Dubai International Airport.

According to the Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson, the minister will hold discussions with the UAE leadership on all areas of mutual interest including regional and global issues.

FM Qureshi will exchange views on bilateral cooperation, in particular trade, investment and the welfare of Pakistani diaspora. He will also meet Pakistani diaspora and interact with local and international media.

The UAE is home to the second largest Pakistani community abroad.

Pakistan and the UAE enjoy historic fraternal relations, rooted firmly in shared history, common faith, values and mutual respect. High-level visits are an important feature, which not only exhibit cordial ties between the two countries but also accord the leadership an opportunity to give further impetus to strengthening bilateral cooperation on a wide range of issues.
