So Why Is Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Really Here?
Because too many fault lines intersect at once:
-
Afghanistan is unstable
-
Mediation is shifting from Qatar to the UAE
-
Abraham Accords require regional smoothing
-
Gaza needs a stabilising buffer
-
Sudan and Red Sea geopolitics are heating up
-
Nuclear assurances are being quietly recalibrated
-
Aviation and regional transit economics are under pressure
And Pakistan sits at the center of all of it.
This visit wasn’t ceremonial.
It was strategic consolidation.
When leaders arrive with pomp, they leave with leverage.
And whatever was discussed behind closed doors in Islamabad this week —
it was far bigger than trade, investment, participation in Chief’s daughter’s wedding or the hunt for a rare Houbara Bustard.
