Education, Skills Development and Entrepreneurship Minister Dharmendra Pradhan engaged in a meeting with his UAE counterpart Ahmad Belhoul Al Falasi on Wednesday, where they signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening educational cooperation and encouraging student and faculty mobility.
Pradhan’s three-day visit to the UAE, spanning from November 1 to 3, focuses on reinforcing educational and skill development partnerships while promoting the exchange of knowledge between the two nations.
During his discussion with the UAE minister, Pradhan emphasised the UAE’s status as a global economic hotspot and India as a
global talent hotspot. He called for collaborative efforts to build a “knowledge bridge” that would strengthen the bond between the two countries.
