India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Thursday held the third meeting of the Joint Committee under the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) here with both sides noting a sharp upswing in bilateral trade and reaffirming plans to expand cooperation across key sectors.

The talks were co-chaired by Commerce Department Additional Secretary Ajay Bhadoo and UAE’s Assistant Undersecretary for International Trade Affairs, Juma Al Kait. Officials said the meeting reviewed the overall implementation of CEPA and assessed the progress made since the agreement came into force. Bilateral trade between the two countries crossed $100.06 billion in 2024-25.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
