This visit marks a significant step in furthering the comprehensive strategic partnership between India and the UAE.

Jaishankar and Sheikh Abdullah in September 2022, had already made significant strides in bilateral cooperation, including the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a Cultural Council Forum to deepen ties.

During this latest meeting, both countries committed to achieving a bilateral trade target of USD 100 billion in the next five years. The ministers also discussed enhancing digital cooperation by exploring the possibility of linking payment platforms like India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI) with those in the UAE.

The UAE Foreign Minister also acknowledged the valuable contributions of the Indian community to the UAE’s progress, while Jaishankar expressed gratitude for the UAE's efforts in supporting the Indian diaspora.

Looking ahead, both nations agreed to hold discussions on consular issues, skills development, and manpower exchange, further reinforcing the strong and evolving partnership between India and the UAE.
