Islamabad, Aug 21: Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar was visited by a high-ranking team from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Tuesday, during which they talked about investments in Pakistan’s aviation, railway, and maritime industries.
Sheikh Ahmed Dalmook Al-Maktoum led the UAE team that paid the deputy prime minister a visit, according to Dar’s office.
According to a statement released on Tuesday, “the talks focused on investment opportunities in Pakistan’s maritime, railways, and aviation sectors.”
As one of Pakistan’s closest allies, the UAE has regularly provided financial help to the South Asian nation, joining Saudi Arabia and China in loaning billions of dollars.
During Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s May visit to the Gulf nation, UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan declared a $10 billion investment in Pakistan, according to Sharif’s Office.
This year, the South Asian country also inked a deal with the Abu Dhabi (AD) Ports Group, which will contribute roughly $395 million toward the establishment of a cargo and container facility as part of a government-to-government (G2G) accord between Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates.
