The earlier visit in 1967 is documented by a separate photo album containing images of the visit to Lahore the second largest city of Pakistan from 16 to 28 November 1967. The album opens with a picture of HH Sheikh Zayed arriving in his car; later pictures show him being honoured and presented with an album very similar to the present one and in the company of officials representing Pakistans United Bank Limited UBL. Almost 20 years later in 1986 Sheikh Zayed would donate a hospital to the city now the "Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex" one of the leading medical institutions in Pakistan.The 30 small photographs show an audience with Sheikh Zayed as well as a banquet in his honour attended by various Pakistani dignitaries including Agha Hasan Abedi 1922-1995 the illustrious founder of UBL.

President Yahya Khan had been "one of the very first international leaders to reach out to Sheikh Zayed after the UAE had been founded and had prior to this in July 1970 been instrumental in creating an agreement to provide technical assistance to the then Trucial States. With the December 1971 union agreement approaching Pakistan was quick to forge even closer ties and Khan had been one of the first foreign leaders to offer his congratulations and reiterate his countrys support when the UAE was born. Full diplomatic ties were then quickly established and Pakistan became one of the first to extend recognition to the new country . All his life Sheikh Zayed had held a personal affinity for Pakistan. He had hunted there extensively came to know the people its culture and lands and enjoyed close ties with leaders" Wilson.From the estate of Azhar Abbas Hashmi 1940-2016 Pakistani financial manager and eminent literary patron with close ties to Karachi University.
