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 Pakistanās 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 Pakistanās pro-investment policies are designed to create an attractive and secure environment for Emirati investors.
Strengthening the Pakistan-UAE Partnership
Labeling the UAE as Pakistanās trusted ally, Shehbaz lauded Dubaiās leadership in driving innovation and global economic discourse. He also expressed gratitude for the UAEās 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 Dubaiās 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 Pakistanās 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. Pakistanās 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 Pakistanās most significant economic partners, with trade, investment, and cultural exchanges continuing to flourish. Additionally, the Pakistani community in the UAEāone of the largest expatriate populationsāserves as a key bridge in strengthening bilateral relations.
As Pakistan looks to accelerate economic growth, Shehbazās push for foreign investment marks a pivotal moment in shaping Pakistanās future economic landscape, reinforcing its longstanding relationship with the UAE.
