The prime minister said the UAE’s strengths in investment, innovation, and global connectivity, combined with Pakistan’s human resource potential, offered a mutually beneficial partnership for sustainable economic growth.

The Sajwani Group delegation reiterated its commitment to exploring further investment opportunities and strengthening its economic partnership with Pakistan.

Shehbaz expressed confidence that, with strong political support from both countries and enhanced private-sector collaboration, Pakistan-UAE economic cooperation would reach new heights.
