Here is the official notification.
Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif met called on the President of the UAE, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on 25 January. Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan was greeted by PM Shehbaz upon his arrival at Chandna Airport in Rahim Yar Khan.
Both leaders discussed ways to strengthen the brotherly bilateral relations between the two countries. PM Shehbaz also brought up his previous visit to the UAE and emphasized the importance of following through on the agreements made during that visit.
The meeting was also attended by Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb, Caretaker Chief Minister (CM) Punjab Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi, and Special Assistant to the PM (SAPM) Syed Tariq Fatemi.
Not a holiday for everyone. Zong has not given holiday to its employees in Islamabad. Why doesn’t the Federal Govt or Ministry of Interior issue such notifications?
