ISLAMABAD: President Asif Ali Zardari will undertake an official visit to the United Arab Emirates from 26-29 January 2026, said the Foreign Office in a statement on Monday.
The President will be accompanied by a high-level delegation during the visit. Asif Ali Zardari will hold high-level meetings with the UAE’s leadership to review the full spectrum of bilateral ties, especially in the domains of trade and economic partnership, defence and security, and people-to-people ties. The discussions will also focus on regional and international issues of mutual interest.
The visit of the President, subsequent to the recent visit of H.H the President of the UAE to Pakistan, reflects the deep brotherly ties between the two nations and reaffirms commitment to transforming the strong friendship between Pakistan and the UAE into a mutually rewarding partnership, the Foreign Office said.
President Zardari’s visit is being seen as an important development in the context of critical Middle East situation as the US aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln and several guided-missile destroyers are due to arrive in the Middle East in the coming days amid a US President Donald Trump’s pledge to monitor Iran closely. Additional air-defence-systems are also being deployed, most likely around US and Israeli airbases in the region.
