UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan reaches Islamabad on first official visit to Pakistan

[东风夜放花千树]

That is scary and promising at the same time!

My friend, I remember you once said that many people do not realize how significant the impact of this war is on Pakistan.

Now, the impact is still ongoing, and we hope to negotiate an agreement that is favorable to Pakistan.

a big game is going on in middle east and pakistan is pivot for it

That is scary and promising at the same time!

The game is called, "Pakistan becoming the big daddy of the Middle East".

And yet,some people don't want Pakistan to go forward,because "UAE bad" and "Haftar bad" and "UAE friend of Jews" or "UAE against Saudi Arabia".

Some people either want "brother" Turks to take all the contracts,Saudis to be pleased or Afghans to happily roam around. Take a pick. Now is your time to export and gain geopolitical influence. After Libya,you might get Bangladesh,after Bangladesh,maybe Iraq,after Iraq who knows what country? Asia and Latin America await. Maybe Africa too. The markets are there.

Absolutely, the India-Pakistan May 2025 encounter changed a lot. If one looks at the foreign engagements of Pakistan in last half of 2025, you'd see many many important ones. The world loves a 'victor'. Look at Azerbaijan's own stature after their recent victory over Armenia over Negorno-Karabagh, for an example.
PS. As a Chinese, you probably noticed an America report today about how the Chinese weaponary's worth is being noticed; the conflict between India-Pakistan was a game changer for Pakistan AND China!

If he can pay upfront for Libyan JF17s, then it will be great.

Ah yes the UAE a nation which has recently hosted a staunch anti Muslim figure tommy robinson and also a sick twisted man called 'imam of peace' who preaches arab supremacy in Islam and that we're all simple converts and curses the wives of the Prophet.
Mossad owned nation, how unfortunate.

Your kind of mentality needs to be dispensed with.
Yes, UAE now has a huge Indian and Israeli footprint but that was not always the case and in fact in UAE's early years, it was Pakistan who helped established their great airlines like the Emirates and established the banking/finance sector. Later, Pakistan lost that space due to Pakistan's own negligence for which you can't blame UAE.
Secondly, China--arguably the most important of all Pakistani foreign relationship, had strong ties with Israel and still maintains the ties.
The world is not some Zero Sum equation. Pakistan has been given an opportunity to take back some of the lost space in UAE and get some $$ coming to Pakistan. Only a foolish nation would squander that opportunity--and thank God, Pakistanis, despite all the warts, are not that foolish.

Time will tell, let's look at the history of Pakistani leadership. All virtually controlled by USA/Israel- no true independence. All hand picked to abet the never ending cycle of corruption within the country. We're in a field of snakes- now let's see if our leaders have the balls to play the game rather than just sit back and be satisfied with personal gain aka green cards and properties.

Where does that money go? Look at the streets. Tell me. Where does the money go?

I see no highways in Pakistan, no universities, massive famines, India bombing Pakistan at will.
Are you happy now? Take your stupid political bias to some other thread!

This is who the UAE is currently supporting. I'm sure that they have good intentions- that money will surely go towards education which would allow our people to prosper and become self reliant. Short term appeasement gets you nowhere.

This is all the same nonsense on repeat- money comes in and vanishes. All these regimes support this to happen, why? We can't have a prosperous self- reliant Muslim nation now can we?

2025 has been Pakistan annus mirabilis.

Regards

We should thank India for the 2025 May encounter. This is very much due to Indian incompetence.

To be honest, Chinese people don’t care about these things. From the machetes of the past to today’s advanced weapons, we treat weapons as close comrades rather than caring about their monetary value in others' eyes.

We clearly understand that these weapons can help us kill invading enemies, protect our country, prevent our loved ones from being harmed, and serve as a deterrent to secure a peaceful life.

Chinese military companies don’t need to rely on selling weapons for profit; sales figures are unrelated to personnel promotions. Chinese military companies believe that developing new weapons to equip the Chinese army is the most important task.

For example, the J-35. Even after losing the contract for China’s fifth-generation aircraft to the J-20, it continued to be improved until it was adopted by the Chinese Navy as a carrier-based aircraft. Later, the Chinese Air Force also placed some orders.

It's not political bias- it's history. How often do you frequent Pakistan? Do you see how much the masdoor are suffering? How many kids are out of school? My ancestral village 1hr 30mins from Islamabad has a brick hut government school. Wah jee kia baat hai!

You sound like a noonie excited by motorwayman. Look at the roads of the whole country- an utter mess. In Islamabad you have potholes which could destroy your car. I can appreciate what is currently being done to try and change things but once again time will tell. This has happened a lot, lots of big talk and then suddenly a regime change and we're back to square one. Do not conflate me with some PTI cell- I don't care about who rules I care about how and what is done.

Universities? Yeah sure let's take a look at the job market now shall we? I personally know someone who has done a PHD in physics in Pakistan and is still helping his father maintain farmer duties. He tells me that his prospects don't really look good at all. Kamal hogya. Where do you think people with STEM qualifications go? They take that first ticket out of the country. We don't benefit other than potential remittance. Those skills are not used locally to contribute towards self-reliance.

You see, my point is that behind all this razzle dazzle- nothing happens. The status quo remains the same. Why? Well. This is all orchestrated. I can't trust a single nation in the GCC because they're all slaves to the jews and their pet the USA. The same figures which have been destabilizing and abetting conflict within Muslim nations for decades.

Please take Pakistan's domestic issues to some other forum. I know that PhDs even in Canada could be cab drivers. The whole world is in a major breastbeating mode since the Corona Pandemic began six years ago. But those are offtopic--very offtopic-in this thread.
