Enjoy your trip! Do try shake shack at the airport. Tell them to put some extra shack sauce in your burger!
It’s time to visit close neighbour Iran too.
Very important to deliver a clear policy in the keynote. With the business community and heads of state from across the globe present, the PM should insist upon in his keynote how welcoming Pakistan and new policies are for investments. Good luck to PM
Amazing Leadership of IK
Perfect time to Market ourselves and invite investors in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Technology.
"Vision for Strong and Prosperous Pakistan" by asking for more donations.
This is good for Pakistani people that PM Imran is visiting UAE to participate in world government forum.

Spectacular news. It's the signs of new begining between Pak and UAE. I have seen govt summit in Dubai for past decade and no one was ever invited from Pakistan, but now things are changing, definately a best PM Pakistan ever had. Regards
And while he's at it, get another few Billion dollars, the public is counting on the PM for some more free stuff.
I hope IK gets a good grip on economy. We wish him all the success for himself and for betterment of the country and population.
Another 3Billion please...
he loves the luxury trips on the run all the time
Hopefully some Loan from Dubai
Why is Dubai so interested in hearing his plans for Pakistan?
We trust you but you have to increase production and export soon, and cut on the imports. All imports without which our country can survive are to be stopped at least for coming few years to give boost to our local industries.
Honour for Pakistan.
Another package of alms.
Excellent. Let us Pakistanis fully support him. IK is destined to be a Statesman in the region. The biggest hurdle is the naive bureaucracy.
exemplary. making a concerted effort in trying to get investment but also changing the image of Pakistan.
But they have already given you 3 bn. At least wait for some more time.
A hard-working prime minister...As an all-rounder in cricket, he used to change the face of the game from the get-go. On the political turf, we should give him some time, to dig in, take a stance and play some memorable "innings" for Pakistan..
PM of Pakistan has only one agenda, serve humanity, work for Pakistan and help the poor people of Pakistan. The whole world should join him in this noble job.
I hope and pray that PM Imran will give a speech that should mention that Pakistan is on the right track and has professional and competent people . The present government will bring peace and stability in the region and also bring the key world powers more close so that the interests of each other is respected. Pakistan will protect the interests of foreign investors . PM Imran should avoid mentioning the previous corruption issues as it creates doubts on new investors.
New aid/loans coming very soon
Imran Khan is on the right track. Let us give him some reasonable time (2 to 3 years) and then see where we are. Those who are expecting some miracles in 100 days are naive.
Stay at Aleema Khan's property in Dubai and save some foreign trips expenses.
IK is a visionary and I am sure he would have few tips for the rulers of Dubai.
@Abbasshah , nope
