ISLAMABAD: The United Arab Emirates (UAE) ambassador to Pakistan, Hamad Obaid Alzaabi, welcomed Brig. Gen. Pilot Awad Alzahrani, the new Saudi military attaché of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, at his office in Islamabad on Tuesday.
General Alzahrani assumed the role earlier this month at the Saudi embassy in the Pakistani capital.
During a meeting with the new military attache, Ambassador Alzaabi wished him “success in his new assignment,” the UAE embassy said in a Twitter post.
Earlier this month, Saudi ambassador to Pakistan, Nawaf bin Said Al-Malki, had also welcomed the new military attaché at his office and expressed his well-wishes on his new posting in Pakistan.
Both UAE and Saudi Arabia have strong ties with Pakistan and are economic and trading partners. Pakistan and the UAE also have a long history of military and maritime partnership and defense cooperation. The militaries of both states carry out joint training exercises and liaison on issues of security.
