Abu Dhabi, UAE: In a move aimed at boosting agricultural innovation and research, the UAE and Pakistan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Monday. The signing ceremony took place in Abu Dhabi and was witnessed by Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, the Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence of the UAE. The MoU focuses on the development and promotion of various aspects of date palm cultivation and the related industry.
The MoU, which was signed by Pakistan’s Ambassador Faisal Niaz Tirmizi and Dr Abdelouahhab Zaid, the General Secretary of the Khalifa International Award for Date Palm and Agricultural Innovation, aims to promote joint cooperation and the sharing of expertise between the two countries. It also provides an opportunity for Pakistani farmers to increase their cultivation of date palm, with a particular emphasis on innovative ideas.
The UAE, being one of the pioneers in the field, will provide technological support to Pakistan in order to enhance date palm cultivation. Pakistan’s rich topography presents immense potential in this sector, making it an ideal candidate for technological assistance. As part of the MoU, the First Pakistan International Date Palm Festival 2024 will be organized, further bolstering the collaboration between the two countries.
Pakistan and the UAE have a strong fraternal relationship and are currently engaged in various mutually beneficial collaborative projects. These projects span across multiple sectors, including politics, economics, agriculture, culture, energy, and defense. The new MoU on agricultural innovation and research will undoubtedly contribute to further strengthening this relationship.
