Pakistan & the United Arab Emirates enjoy very strong ties because of their cultural & traditional similarity & geographical location. The bond between the two nations has been flourishing for decades and developed into wide-ranging co-operation in many fields.
The two states share common concerns & perceptions on various regional & international issues. UAE has always come forward to stand with Pakistan in the times of crises ie natural calamities, earthquakes and floods. On many occasions, UAE has extended its financial assistance for meeting trade and budgetary deficits.
The growing relations between Pakistan and UAE in the trade and industry have paved the way for strengthening the economy of the two states. Being Pakistanis one of the major trading partner and the second largest source of home remittances from Pakistani emigrants working in UAE, the bonding of the two nations is a significant stepping stone towards the betterment of the entire Muslim Nation, while providing ample opportunities to further strengthen bilateral ties.
As the representative of UAE, I truly appreciate Pakistan's contribution to the evolution of key institutions in the Emirates including armed forces, police, health and education. Furthermore, I wish to elevate the bilateral relations to higher levels at all political, economic and social levels between the two states.
In order to cherish this cordial and mutually rewarding relationship and to explore more avenues of joint collaborations, the Consulate of the United Arab Emirates Karachi is organising . UAE Expo 2011. from November 30 to December 02, 2011 at Karachi. I invite all my distinguished friends of the corporate world to actively participate in this significant event to make it a grand success.
