He stated, “We in the UAE greatly value India’s remarkable achievements across all sectors and its growing stature on

the global stage. We commend its steadfast commitment to the well-being of its people. In a world often challenged by
turbulence, we take pride in the strength of our political, commercial, and educational ties with India.”

He added, “The friendship between our peoples dates back centuries—long before the formation of our modern
nations—and has grown into fruitful commercial and cultural partnerships. This conclave is a vital platform to reinforce

those relations by fostering synergies, creating opportunities, and encouraging bilateral initiatives.”

He emphasised that the shared vision between the leaderships of both countries is built on global engagement, civil
dialogue, and a collective drive for peace and prosperity. He pointed out that the UAE and India are aligned in their
commitment to education, environmental stewardship, public health and safety, and openness to trade, investment,

and culture.

He continued, “President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan remains deeply committed to the

UAE’s global leadership in progress and innovation. This is strongly supported by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai. Our nation today represents a harmonious
blend of modernity and heritage, social development and economic sustainability.”

He applauded the vision and leadership of Aroon Purie and his team at the India Today Group, as well as the

involvement of the UAE India Business Council, urging all participants to continue building on the outcomes of the
conclave through recognition of inspirational role models, award programs, and sustainable support networks for the
UAE–India partnerships.

He concluded, “I warmly welcome you once again to this important gathering and look forward to the innovative

strategies that will emerge from it. Let this conclave serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, relationship-building,
and the creation of a brighter shared future.”

The inaugural edition of the UAE–India: Partners in Progress Conclave marked a milestone in the evolving strategic
partnership between the UAE and India. Organised by the UAE India Business Council – UAE Chapter in collaboration
with the India Today Group, the conclave brought together top policymakers, business leaders, diplomats, and

innovators to shape the next chapter of bilateral cooperation under the framework of the Comprehensive Economic
Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between the two countries.

Held in the wake of the historic visit of the H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince
of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence, to India and a series of significant recent agreements, the

event underscored the central role of the UAE India Business Council – UAE Chapter in enhancing trade partnerships
and bilateral cooperation in critical sectors such as healthcare, education, and culture.
