Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri met the UAE’s Minister of State for International Cooperation, Reem Al Hashimy, today during her visit to New Delhi. The visit was a follow-up to the recent visit of the Foreign Secretary to the UAE in June this year. Foreign Secretary and the UAE Minister of State reviewed the entire spectrum of the multi-faceted India-UAE Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, including in the areas of political, trade and investment, energy, defence and security, education, consular, culture and people-to-people ties. They took stock of the various ongoing initiatives in diverse sectors of bilateral cooperation, as well as the implementation of key decisions taken during high-level meetings and exchanges. They also exchanged views on global and regional issues of mutual interest. India and the UAE share historically close and friendly relations, underpinned by strong people-to-people ties. A vibrant Indian diaspora of over 4.3 million resides in the UAE. Bilateral trade between India and the UAE stood at 100.05 billion dollars for 2024-25. The regular exchange of high level visits between the two sides, contributes to strong bilateral relationship and opens avenues for deepening the partnership in all spheres.
