Pakistan has started recovering from the wounds received from Operation Sindoor. This is the reason why Pakistan welcomed UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed at the Noor Khan airbase, which was destroyed by the Indian Air Force during Operation Sindoor (May 7-10). This is the same Noor Khan base, where the Indian Air Force had pulled off the nuclear bluff by destroying Pakistan’s Nuclear Command and Control Centre.

Now Pakistan has released the video of the grand welcome of the UAE President, in which Noor Khan Airbase can be seen written. Pakistan has done this so that it can show the world that everything is fine here. While the reality is that Pakistan Air Force had issued NOTAM (Notice to Airmen) several times to close it, but after seven months of repair, this strategic airbase of Pakistan near Rawalpindi has become operational again.

On Friday, Pakistan had given a grand welcome to UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed at Noor Khan Airbase. Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Army Chief Asim Munir themselves reached Noor Khan Airbase to welcome him. It is also believed that America’s nuclear weapons were stored at this Noor Khan airbase. During Operation Sindoor, when India destroyed this command and control centre, America was shocked and called for a ceasefire from India.

Everyone expressed surprise at Trump’s interference

Everyone was surprised by the way US President Donald Trump tried to interfere during Operation Sindoor. Imtiaz Gul, a well-known security expert of Pakistan himself, had claimed that the Noor Khan Air Base which was attacked by India during Operation Sindoor, America’s nuclear weapons were stored there. That means America keeps its nuclear weapons in Pakistan.

India had destroyed the ‘Command and Control Centre’ and took revenge

Even the Trump administration had no idea that India would destroy Pakistan’s Nuclear Command and Control Center in revenge for the Pahalgam terrorist attack. This is the reason why America’s Vice President JD Vance, who till a few days ago was insisting on keeping himself away from the dispute between India and Pakistan, was shaken by India’s action in just four days (6/7- 9/10 May) and called Prime Minister Modi and called for stopping the military confrontation.

During Operation Sindoor, Trump had claimed that if the ongoing military conflict between India and Pakistan was not stopped, it could turn into a nuclear war. However, India had officially denied any such claim and Trump’s interference.

Modi had said- exposed Pakistan’s nuclear bluff

After Operation Sindoor, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had publicly said that Pakistan’s nuclear bluff has been exposed. The PM did not say anything clearly but the indication was clear that after the destruction of Pakistan’s Nuclear Command and Control Centre, the nuclear weapons of the Pakistani Army were completely destroyed. Because these weapons could not be launched without a command and control center.

Ever since the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan had been flaunting its nuclear weapons. Pakistani Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and other leaders were talking about the use of nuclear weapons to respond to India’s attack. But on May 9-10, when India destroyed Noor Khan Air Base and Kirana Hills with precise aim of BrahMos missile, Pakistan rulers came to their knees and started bleating in front of Trump.

Noor Khan Air Base, very close to GHQ, the headquarters of the Pakistani Army, is a major operating base of Pakistan where C-130J Super Hercules military transport aircraft were deployed. Noor Khan was a strategic defeat for Pakistan because this base was named after former Chief of Pakistani Air Force Noor Khan.

UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan arrived on a one-day visit to Pakistan on Friday (December 26, 2025). As soon as Mohammad Bill Zayed got off the plane, Pakistan’s Chief of Defense Forces and Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir hugged him and started whispering something in his ear. During this, Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar were also present to welcome the UAE President.

As soon as the UAE President got down from the plane, he hugged Shehbaz Sharif, talked to him a few things and then Asim Munir came forward to meet him. When Asim Munir was hugging Mohammed bin Zayed, he hugged him and stopped for a few seconds and during this he was seen whispering something in the ear of the UAE President.

To welcome Mohammed bin Zayed, he was given a salute with 21 cannons on the ground and JF-17 aircraft in the sky. According to Pakistani Radio, when his aircraft entered Pakistani airspace, Pakistani Army aircraft were also flying along with his aircraft to welcome and honor him.

This is the first official visit of Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to Pakistan. He has been coming here with his family on unofficial visits, but this is the first time he has come to Pakistan on an official visit. The Pakistan government has declared Friday a national holiday on his visit to Islamabad.

Many discussions have started regarding his visit. Some Pakistani experts say that there can be a discussion with Mohammad Bin Zayed’s Shahbaz government regarding the loan given by UAE to Pakistan and the investments they have made here.

According to the Pakistani Foreign Ministry, the UAE President will discuss all aspects of bilateral relations with Shahbaz Sharif here and will also talk about his interests at the regional and international levels. According to UAE’s government news agency WAM, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is accompanied by his advisors Sheikh Sultan bin Hamdan Al Nahyan and Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan.
