ABU DHABI, 13th February, 2024 (WAM) -- Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi,
Minister of State for Foreign Trade, praised the strategic partnership between the
UAE and India, which constitutes a model of bilateral relations aimed at achieving
sustainable development and common interests.

He said that the UAE-India strategic partnership across various fields, including
the Comprehensive Economic Partnership (CEPA), was only made possible by
the unlimited support of the leaderships of the two countries.

In statements to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) on the occasion of the visit of
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the UAE, Al Zeyoudi noted that this visit is
of particular importance as it coincides with the two countries celebrating the
second anniversary of the signing of the CEPA on 18th February 2022.

The agreement, which entered into force on 1st May of the same year, has
significantly contributed to facilitating the flow of trade and investment between
the two sides, and has helped to raise the level of cooperation and partnership to
broader levels, he added.

Al Zeyoudi emphasised that India is the UAE's second-largest trading partner
globally, according to 2022 data, with non-oil trade between the two countries
