ISLAMABAD: Pakis­tan’s ambassador to the UAE has said significant strides have been made in implementing the seven memorandums of understanding signed recently with the Gulf country for cooperation in energy, agriculture, infrastructure, finance and technology sectors.

Ambassador Faisal Niaz Tirmizi met the UAE under-secretary for investment, Mohamed Al Hawi, in Dubai on Friday to review the implementation of MoUs.

The meeting also noted the “positive momentum” generated by the recent high-level visits by both countries. These diplomatic engagements have strengthened the strategic partnership.

Ambassador Tirmizi and under-secretary Al Hawi expressed optimism regarding bilateral relationships, emphasising the importance of continued collaboration at the highest levels.
