- Matters of mutual interest, assistance program discussed
ISLAMABAD: UAE Ambassador Hamad Obaid Ibrahim Al-Zaabi on Thursday met with Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff Gen. Qamar Javed Bajwa in Rawalpindi.
“Matters of mutual interest and UAE-Pakistan Assistance Programme (UPAP) projects under execution in Pakistan were discussed,” the media wing of Pakistan’s military said in a statement.
A memorandum of understanding was signed to continue UPAP projects for social development in remote areas of Pakistan. Al-Zaabi said the Emirati leadership will continue to assist Pakistan in all possible fields.
Last week, with the support of the UAE’s Red Crescent Society, Pakistan’s first hospital to treat diabetes was inaugurated.
In March, Bajwa laid the foundation stone of the desalination plant in the port city of Gwadar, which is supported by the Emirati and Swiss governments.
