États de la Trêve
After the British residency in the Trucial States ended, Pakistan called for the UAE the successor of the Trucial States to include Bahrain and Qatar as states of the United Arab Emirates, this however never materialised and relations with the United Arab Emirates were established in 1971. The UAE's founding father and first president Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan made multiple visits to Pakistan and considered it to be his second home.
