ISLAMABAD:

To step up bilateral relations in view of close fraternal ties, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to enhance cooperation in multiple sectors.

This was decided in a telephonic conversation between Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and his Emirati counterpart Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Wednesday.

The foreign minister, while condemning Houthi attacks on UAE, reiterated that such attacks posed a grave threat to regional peace and security, and must be ceased immediately.

During the conversation, the two foreign ministers exchanged views on matters of common interest.
