The UAE-India partnership took centre stage at the 31st Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) Partnership Summit<\/a>. Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, led the UAE delegation to the event. It was held in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, on 12th and 13th November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summit was held under the theme \u201cNavigating the New World Order: Trade, Technology, Trust and Thought Leadership\u201d. It brought together leaders, government officials, policymakers, investors and industry representatives from around the world. Participants exchanged views on opportunities and challenges across trade, technology, trust and thought leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bin Touq said the partnership between the UAE and India rests on deep-rooted historical ties. He pointed to longstanding cooperation across diverse economic fields and close links between the two peoples. He added that the relationship has developed significantly in recent years and has expanded into new economic sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the summit as an important platform for exchanging insights and expertise on global economic shifts. It also allows both sides to explore ways to advance their cooperation and strengthen links between business communities. In addition, it helps identify opportunities in future sectors.

Bin Touq attended two main sessions. The first was a ministerial session on global economic shifts and their implications for international cooperation. The second focused on elevating bilateral investment between India and the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the ministerial session, he said the world is undergoing rapid economic shifts. According to him, these changes require continued development of international economic partnerships. He cited both the opportunities and challenges that arise from current changes and the reshaping of supply chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This includes developing advanced industries and technologies, as well as harnessing artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Cooperation also matters for the transition to clean energy, food security and the skills needed for the economy of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bin Touq noted that the UAE and India have complementary strengths. The UAE offers advanced infrastructure, a strategic location and strong capabilities in logistics, energy and technology. India, meanwhile, brings skilled human resources, innovation capabilities and advanced expertise in technology and digital engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are working to harness these strengths to establish joint projects, enhance production capabilities and expand cooperation in advanced industries and value-added sectors, supporting the competitiveness of both countries\u2019 economies and strengthening their sustainable growth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second session, Bin Touq outlined the UAE\u2019s most promising economic opportunities. He also described the competitive advantages available to investors and companies seeking to expand.
