May 06, 2025 (MLN): Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) took a significant step towards enhancing bilateral cooperation as Federal Minister for Railways, Muhammad Hanif Abbasi, held an important meeting with the UAE Ambassador to Pakistan, H.E. Hamad Obaid Alzaab, in Islamabad to strengthen collaboration between Pakistan Railways and the UAE in the freight sector.

During the meeting, the UAE expressed its interest in a long-term agreement between Karachi Gateway Terminal, a subsidiary of AD Ports Group, and Pakistan Railways for the development and operation of dedicated freight train services.

This proposed partnership aims to provide a significant boost to Pakistan’s freight transportation capacity.

The UAE’s cooperation will help increase Pakistan Railways’ market share in the freight sector, enhance its multimodal transport capabilities, and contribute to the modernization of its freight services.

Both parties agreed to move forward with negotiations to finalize the framework for this collaboration, according to the press release.

This partnership will pave the way for improved connectivity and operational efficiency, enabling Pakistan Railways to better serve the national and regional logistics market.

The proposal reflects the UAE’s commitment to investing in Pakistan’s infrastructure, further enhancing the economic ties between the two nations.
