sectors.

The meetings included discussions with H.E. N. Chandrababu Naidu, Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh; H.E. T. G. Bharath, Minister of
Industries, Commerce, and Food Processing; H.E. Nara Lokesh, Minister of Information Technology; and H.E. R. Mukundan, President-

The dialogue focused on deepening cooperation across the new economy, agriculture, food processing, fintech, green and circular

Advancing UAE-India Economic Partnership
