Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir UAE has suddenly visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The timing of his visit is considered very important because recently UAE had asked Pakistan to return the loan money for supporting Saudi Arabia. Pakistan’s entire economy is dependent on debt and in such a situation, angering UAE has become a big problem for Pakistan. Recently Pakistan had received assistance of 1.2 billion dollars from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Asim Munir ran away to UAE

According to the report of Pakistani newspaper Dawn, Asim Munir met Abu Dhabi’s Deputy Ruler and National Security Advisor Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan. According to Pakistan Army’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Asim Munir said that the security and stability of the UAE is an integral part of Pakistan’s own security. Ways to further strengthen bilateral relations in the fields of economic collaboration, investment and security were discussed between the two.

Ishaq Dar requested UAE

According to ISPR, Army Chief Asim Munir said that such support reflects the deep historical ties between the two friendly countries. He praised the role of UAE leadership in advancing economic and social development in Pakistan. Ishaq Dar had requested UAE last week, after which UAE gave only 60 days extension on the loan of 2 billion dollars given to Pakistan.

Asim Munir busy in convincing UAE

After supporting Saudi Arabia, tension in the relations between Pakistan and UAE has increased. To reduce this distance, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif last week had a phone conversation with UAE President Sheikh Mohammed Zayed bin Al Nahyan to persuade him and started touting relations with Pakistan. After him, Asim Munir has now come to persuade the UAE High Command.
