World Governments Summit 2025: Shehbaz Sharif announces big opportunity for UAE investors

During his visit to Dubai for the World Governments Summit 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif extended an invitation to UAE businesses, urging them to explore investment opportunities in Pakistan’s rapidly growing sectors, including energy, infrastructure, mining, and IT.

The high-level meeting between PM Shehbaz and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, focused on strengthening economic cooperation and expanding bilateral ties. Shehbaz emphasized that Pakistan’s pro-investment policies are designed to create an attractive and secure environment for Emirati investors.

Strengthening the Pakistan-UAE Partnership

Labeling the UAE as Pakistan’s trusted ally, Shehbaz lauded Dubai’s leadership in driving innovation and global economic discourse. He also expressed gratitude for the UAE’s continuous support for Pakistan, particularly its role in providing opportunities for the large Pakistani diaspora residing in the Emirates.

In response, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid reaffirmed Dubai’s commitment to deepening economic and cultural ties with Pakistan. He highlighted areas of emerging collaboration, particularly in artificial intelligence (AI) and climate resilience initiatives, both of which align with Pakistan’s vision for sustainable growth.

High-Level Engagements for a Stronger Future

Both leaders agreed to maintain regular diplomatic engagements to explore new avenues for economic collaboration and to enhance strategic partnerships in multiple sectors. Pakistan’s growing digital economy and expanding industrial base make it an attractive destination for foreign investment, with the UAE poised to play a crucial role in this development.

The UAE remains one of Pakistan’s most significant economic partners, with trade, investment, and cultural exchanges continuing to flourish. Additionally, the Pakistani community in the UAE—one of the largest expatriate populations—serves as a key bridge in strengthening bilateral relations.

As Pakistan looks to accelerate economic growth, Shehbaz’s push for foreign investment marks a pivotal moment in shaping Pakistan’s future economic landscape, reinforcing its longstanding relationship with the UAE.
