ABU DHABI, (Pakistan Point News - 09th Apr, 2025) Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of
State for Foreign Trade, said that the UAE and India share a strong mutual commitment to
elevating their strategic partnership across all sectors. This cooperation, he noted, is aligned
with the ambitious development goals of both nations and contributes to sustainable economic
growth and shared prosperity for their peoples.

Speaking to the Emirates news Agency (WAM), Al Zeyoudi emphasised that the reciprocal visits
by the leaders of both countries reflect this joint vision and help strengthen strategic
collaboration. These high-level engagements continue to create opportunities for building
deeper partnerships, especially in trade and investment between the business communities and
private sectors of both nations.

He noted that the official visit of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Defence, to India comes as the
two friendly countries approach the third anniversary of the implementation of their
Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which came into effect on
1st May 2022. This agreement was the first of its kind signed by the UAE under its CEPA
programme and the first to be implemented—highlighting the long-standing and robust ties
between the UAE and India.
