In his remarks at the inauguration ceremony, General Raheel Sharif, Chief of Staff of the Pakistan Army (COAS) thanked Shaikh Khalifa for his constant support for Pakistan through his generous humanitarian initiatives which have their focus on human development and contribute to efforts to boost several sectors such as education, healthcare, water, transport and road networks.

He affirmed that the people of Pakistan will always remain grateful for the genuine humanitarian attitudes of Shaikh Khalifa who spares no efforts to support the humanitarian causes of the people of Pakistan at times of crisis.

The initiatives of Shaikh Khalifa, added General Sharif, contributed to the development of areas hit by earthquakes and floods and backed the Pakistani government’s efforts to alleviate the suffering of the poor and the underprivileged.

For his part, Eisa Abdullah Al Basha Al Nuaimi, UAE Ambassador to Pakistan, hailed the humanitarian approach of the UAE under the leadership of Shaikh Khalifa which aims at giving support to fraternal and friendly countries through development projects in sectors such as education, healthcare, transport, water and others.
