Wishing everyone on India’s 73rd Republic Day, Sunjay Sudhir, Ambassador of India to the UAE said, “There is a civilizational and cultural connect between India and UAE, which makes our relationship very special. As India celebrates 75 glorious years of independence and the UAE, its ‘Year of the 50th’, our two nations have embarked on the journey towards a future-ready partnership. India-UAE relations have scaled new heights also owing to the great personal bonds 
between our leadership.”

“The 3.4 million Indians in the UAE are perhaps the most critical pillar of strength for the country. Their contributions, even during the most critical of times, have been exemplary and will act as an inspiration to Indians around the world,” added Shri Sudhir.

Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade of the UAE said, “I congratulate the government and people of India on this special day. India and UAE share great historic ties as trading routes between both the countries existed for centuries. The UAE’s partnership with India is underpinned by strong trade and investment ties, that continues to grow.”

“The upcoming CEPA deal between the two countries will increase the investment flows and joint ventures and unlock new economic opportunities across various sectors for the UAE & India businesses. It will also lead to new employment opportunities and provide platforms for SMEs of both countries to expand internationally by granting them access to new customers, networks and avenues for collaborations,” added Dr Thani.
