India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have agreed to establish a virtual trade corridor to streamline logistics and reduce processes for bilateral trade.

This initiative will be implemented under the framework agreement on the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC), signed between the two countries in February this year. The announcement was made following a business event in Mumbai attended by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khaled Zayed Al Nahyan.

The Virtual Trade Corridor (VTC) aims to reduce administrative processes and time, lower logistics and transport costs, and enhance ease of doing business. It will be supported by a web-based interface called MAITRI (Master Application for International Trade and Regulatory Interface), which integrates multiple Indian operational portals to connect with those in the UAE.

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).
