Similarly, the UAE visit included MoUs that covered investment cooperation across various sectors, including energy, port operations, wastewater treatment, food security, logistics, mining, aviation, and banking and financial services.

The agreements aim to foster collaboration and stimulate significant investments in these key areas, a handout released by the media wing of the Prime Minister’s Office and the Information Ministry said.

The historical tapestry of Pakistan and Kuwait is interwoven with deep-rooted ties that have endured for over six decades.

This milestone visit takes on added significance as the year 2023 marks the auspicious 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
