Pakistan Senator Mushahid Hussain on Tuesday raised concerns over the deepening relationship between India and the United Arab Emirates, warning that growing ties between the two countries could have long-term geopolitical implications.
Speaking to Dunya News, Hussain defended Islamabad’s decision to repay billions of dollars in loans to the UAE, framing it not as an obligation but as support for a “brother in need”. He argued that the Gulf nation was under strain due to regional conflicts and financial outflows, claiming Pakistan had a historic responsibility to assist. Referring to ties dating back to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, he said Pakistan had played a key role in building the UAE, including training its armed forces.
