UAE President on India visit today

The visit comes amid sustained momentum in bilateral ties, following recent high-profile exchanges, including the visit of Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, in September 2024, and that of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Deputy PM, Minister of Defence and Crown Prince of Dubai, in April 2025.

India and the UAE share warm, close and multi-faceted relations, anchored in strong political, cultural and economic cooperation. The two countries are among each other’s leading trading and investment partners, supported by key frameworks such as the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), the Local Currency Settlement (LCS) mechanism and the Bilateral Investment Treaty. Energy cooperation remains a core pillar of the partnership, with long-term supply arrangements and expanding collaboration across traditional and emerging energy sectors.

During the visit, PM Modi and President Zayed are expected to review the full spectrum of bilateral ties and chart new areas of cooperation under the India–UAE Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The two leaders will also exchange views on regional and global developments, where both sides share a high degree of strategic convergence.
