Islamabad (Web Desk/Agencies): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday expressed sadness over the death of Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohamed Al Nahyan, the Representative of the Ruler of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in Al Ain.
“Deeply saddened at the demise of His Highness Sheikh Tahnoun bin Mohamed Al Nahyan. Our thoughts and prayers are with the leadership and people of the UAE in this hour of grief,” the prime minister wrote on his social media handle X.
He said that the late Sheikh Tahnoun would be long remembered for his contribution to building stronger ties between Pakistan and the UAE.
