ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi on Saturday reached the United Arab Emirates for a three-day official visit where he would meet his counterpart Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan and other UAE dignitaries.
The foreign minister was warmly received by senior officials of the UAE foreign ministry and Pakistan ambassador in the UAE, Afzal Mahmood, said a press release issued here.
The trip to the UAE comes amid reports of the Gulf state brokering peace talks between Pakistan and India. According to the Foreign Office, the foreign minister will meet Pakistani diaspora and interact with local and international media.
