During the shifting international relations environment, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan have developed spectacular relations not only in the traditional strategic partnership framework. These two nations have been enjoying an active bilateral relationship since 1971, with sensitive trade and investment linkages and over strategic people connection. This partnership is a good example of a symbiotic relationship: more than 1.8 million Pakistani people work in the UAE and for the last year they remit 5.5 billion dollars to their country.
The UAE has proved its loyalty towards Pakistan on various economic and humanitarian fronts many times. The public and private sectors of the UAE have invested over $10 billion over the last two decades across various sectors including communication, technology, tourism, and real estate. Some of the best-known UAE companies like Etihad Airways, Emirates, and Emaar have invested in Pakistan and have given their best to help in the growth of both economies. The UAE Pakistan Assistance Program initiated in 2011 with $450 million in additional funds also shows the nation’s continued commitment to Pakistan in this difficult phase of life.
The culture in UAE is diverse, making it favorable for the expatriates; the Pakistani become the second largest community in UAE. The leadership of the country has made the nation receptive and accepting of other people hence over 200 nations live peacefully in the country. Some of the expats who thanked the UAE for the lovely experience are Jabeen Adil who has been living in the UAE for 14 years, and the colorful cultural celebrations that are apparent year-round such as the 53rd Independence Day of the United Arab Emirates.
