The foreign minister during his two-day visit will call on his UAE counterpart and other officials to hold a discussion on matters of mutual interest.
In October, Minister for State, Abu Dhabi Sultan Ahmed Al-Jaber accompanied by a delegation had called on Prime Minister Imran Khan in Islamabad.
The UAE delegation discussed matters of bilateral interest including investment in Pakistan.
The delegation had reached on the specific directions of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al-Nahyan, Crown Prince of UAE, with whom the PM Khan met on September 19 in Abu Dhabi and agreed to strengthen economic, trade and investment relations.
Both sides had agreed to achieve real and tangible results in the shortest possible timeframe.
In September, Prime Minister Imran Khan had visited the UAE where he was warmly received by Crown Prince HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan at the Presidential Apron, Abu Dhabi Airport.

Prime Minister Imran Khan had arrived in the UAE after completing his visit to Saudi Arabia. He is accompanied by the foreign minister, Finance Minister Asad Umar, Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry and Adviser for Commerce.
His first official visit to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates was even more commendable for it will largely be focused on the financial bailout plan for his country in addition to mending ties that saw a downward trend in recent years due to blunders committed by his predecessors.
