By A Staff Reporter

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri on Tuesday met the UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation and Special Envoy for India, Reem Al Hashimy, in New Delhi to review the ongoing progress in bilateral ties. The discussions focused on the India-UAE Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, which spans multiple sectors.

According to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the talks covered a wide range of areas, including trade, investment, defence, security, technology, energy, education, and culture. Both sides also underlined the importance of people-to-people ties, which remain a central pillar of the relationship given the large Indian diaspora in the UAE.

The meeting comes at a time when India and the UAE are expanding cooperation under several new initiatives, including the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which has boosted trade flows between the two countries. Officials noted that the discussions also touched on opportunities in renewable energy, innovation, and digital technologies, areas where both countries are seeking deeper engagement.
