ISLAMABAD: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah and UAE Ambassador to Pakistan Salem Mohammed Al Zaabi on Tuesday agreed to enhance bilateral cooperation in trade, investment and development, Shah’s office said in a statement.
Shah met Al Zaabi in the southern port city of Karachi, in which UAE Consul General Dr. Bakheet Ateeq Alremeithi also participated, the Chief Minister’s Office said.
Sindh has eyed cooperation with the UAE recently, with Shah’s spokesperson saying last month that the Gulf nation was interested in a desalination project in Karachi and wanted to invest in Sindh’s transport and construction sectors.
“The chief minister of Sindh and the UAE ambassador held talks on further enhancing cooperation between the Sindh government and the United Arab Emirates,” Shah’s office said.
“Both sides agreed to expand cooperation in the fields of investment, trade and development,” it added.
