FM discusses welfare of Pakistanis in UAE with Dubai ruler
49
ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Thursday discussed issues pertaining to welfare of Pakistani diaspora in the United Arab Emirates with the ruler of Dubai.
“Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi called on His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice president and prime minister of the United Arab Emirates, and ruler of the Emirate of Dubai, in Dubai today,” FO said in a statement, adding he “discussed matters pertaining to the welfare of Pakistani Diaspora in the UAE” in the meeting.
Mr Qureshi is on a two-day visit to UAE. The visit is taking place weeks after the UAE included Pakistan among the 12 countries for whose nationals it had suspended visit visas.
The foreign minister urged Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid to encourage UAE’s business community to avail investment opportunities in Pakistan.
Mr Qureshi, the FO said, reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to further strengthening and augmenting existing strong bilateral relations with the UAE.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid warmly reciprocated the sentiments.

I want Pakistanis to understand that US and Western world interest runs counter to Pak/Muslim interests. Think about it. During Cold War, Pak was US ally whereas India was Soviet ally yet US always favored India over Pak. US was and is anti Muslim and it controls KSA after killing Shah Faisal plus through KSA US has been bringing harm to Muslim world
However, Pak rise has complicated US plans as US always saw Pak as poor country who’s army was at its disposal. Muslim salvation lies with China
