Pakistan-UAE relations: 

The ties between Pakistan and UAE extend back to 1971, when the UAE was founded, and have since expanded to include wide-ranging cooperation in various fields. The United Arab Emirates was the first country to recognize Pakistan and continues to be a key source of economic and financial aid to Pakistan. The UAE values Pakistan’s contribution to the development of major UAE institutions, while Pakistan values the UAE’s investment in Pakistan’s economy and infrastructure. Both nations’ inhabitants are predominantly Muslim and share the same faith.
