Asim Munir Says UAE’s Security Integral to Pakistan’s Stability

Chief of Defence Forces Syed Asim Munir has stated that the security and stability of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are integral to Pakistan’s own security, underscoring the depth of strategic ties between the two countries.

According to a statement issued by the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Field Marshal Asim Munir made the remarks during a meeting with Sheikh Tahnoun bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE Deputy Ruler and National Security Advisor, in Abu Dhabi.

The meeting focused on enhancing mutual cooperation, particularly in the areas of economy, investment, and security. Both leaders emphasised the importance of sustained engagement and continuous contacts to promote regional stability, peace, and security.

During the discussions, Field Marshal Asim Munir thanked the UAE for its consistent support to Pakistan, describing the cooperation as a reflection of the deep-rooted historical and brotherly relations between the two nations.

He also appreciated the constructive role played by the Emirati leadership in supporting Pakistan’s economic and social development, noting that the two countries share long-standing historical ties and a strong strategic partnership.

Reiterating Pakistan’s commitment to the bilateral relationship, the Chief of Defence Forces said that the UAE’s security and stability were inseparable from Pakistan’s own security framework.

Pakistan and the UAE maintain close cooperation across defence, economic, and diplomatic spheres, with frequent high-level exchanges reinforcing their strategic partnership.
