“The UAE top diplomat welcomed the Indian minister over a working dinner in Abu Dhabi, during which they discussed enhancing cooperation across all fronts, with particular emphasis on areas of health, technology, digitalisation, economy, and trade, in light of the comprehensive economic partnership signed in 2022 by the two nations,” according to a statement by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Sheikh Abdullah reiterated the UAE’s support for India’s presidency of the group and appreciated its ambitious aspirations to achieve remarkable progress in a number of key areas, including climate change, health, agriculture, education and promoting women’s empowerment. He wished success to India during its presidency of the G20.

The two diplomats reviewed the participation of the two nations’ private sector in the workings of the Group based on its important role in supporting sustainable development efforts at various levels.

During the meeting, Sheikh Abdullah underscored the importance of strengthening international cooperation to stimulate economic growth and the UAE’s willingness to enhance the participation of the private sector in supporting the two countries’ developmental goal agendas.

Jaishankar and Sheikh Abdullah also discussed ways to enhance cooperation involving multilateral groups and organisations, including the I2U2 Group and future cooperation opportunities within the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation. Sheikh Abdullah stressed that the ties between the two nations will help push global efforts to achieve sustainable growth.

“The UAE-Indian relations are steadily heading towards broader horizons of fruitful cooperation, with the objective of creating promising opportunities for development and economic prosperity in the two countries,” Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan said.
