The ties between India and the UAE have reached new heights, with increasing levels of trade and investment, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday, highlighting collaborations in sectors like fintech, infrastructure, and defence.
Speaking at the inauguration of the Symbiosis International (Deemed University) campus in Dubai, Jaishankar emphasised how Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first visit to the UAE in 2015, which was the first visit by an Indian prime minister in 34 years to the emirate state, marked the new beginning of bilateral ties between the two countries.
"India-UAE ties are today truly in an era of new milestones and many firsts. Indeed, Prime Minister Modi's historic visit in 2015 is certainly a first in this Century. So too is our Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, which was negotiated in record time. The trade and investment levels between our countries are at new levels and increasing with each passing year," Jaishankar said.
He said the fintech linkages like RuPay-Jaywan or UPI-AANE are also the firsts in their domain. The collaborations that the two sides are constantly expanding - be it in renewable energy, infrastructure, digital technology, defence or security - are all pathbreaking in their way, he added.
