Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Senator Ishaq Dar, has announced that the United Arab Emirates will acquire shares in the Fauji Foundation, signaling a major step in enhanced economic cooperation between the two countries. The strategic investment is aimed at helping the Fauji Foundation settle a $1 billion liability, while an additional $2 billion loan is expected to be rolled over, further strengthening the financial position of one of Pakistan’s largest corporate entities.
Senator Dar emphasized that this development reflects Pakistan’s improving international relations, highlighting strengthened ties with neighboring Bangladesh and the country’s ongoing support for a peaceful resolution in Gaza. The move underscores Pakistan’s broader strategy to attract foreign investment, stabilize key financial institutions, and enhance economic resilience amid global uncertainties.
Addressing political unrest abroad, Dar also condemned PTI protests in the United Kingdom, describing them as unacceptable and urging the British government to assume responsibility for maintaining order. Overall, the UAE’s investment in the Fauji Foundation represents a significant milestone in Pakistan’s efforts to deepen global partnerships, secure financial stability, and foster economic growth through strategic foreign collaboration.
