Sheikh Mohamed met at Qasr Al Shati' Palace Saturday with the Pakistani leader and wished him success in leading Pakistan towards further progress and prosperity over the coming period.

The two leaders exchanged greetings on the advent of Eid Al-Fitr and wished progress and development to the Islamic world and all nations of the world.
