Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday strongly condemned the missile and drone attacks on civilian infrastructure in the United Arab Emirates last night.

In his post on X, the prime minister expressed full solidarity with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed.

“Pakistan stands firmly with our Emirati brothers and sisters as well as with the Government of the United Arab Emirates at this difficult time,” he added.

“It is absolutely essential that the ceasefire be upheld and respected, to allow necessary diplomatic space for dialogue leading to enduring peace and stability in the region,” the prime minister remarked.
