Pakistan’s foreign minister says he expects the issues being faced by members of the Pakistani diaspora following an abrupt visa ban imposed by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) last month to be resolved soon.
“The Pakistani community and our diaspora in the UAE have contributed significantly to the UAE’s progress and development and it is acknowledged and appreciated and we are grateful for that. There are some issues of concern that I discussed and I am expecting a resolution of them,” Shah Mehmood Qureshi told a news conference in Abu Dhabi on Friday.
He said discussions with the UAE on the visa issue are ongoing and he will meet top UAE intelligence officials later on Friday to discuss the matter.
