The meeting, held as part of His Highness's official visit to India, reflects the two nations efforts to strengthen their strategic economic partnership.

The discussions focused on advancing cooperation across a wide spectrum of sectors that are pillars of the India-UAE economic relationship, including trade, energy, investment, manufacturing, logistics, technology and healthcare.

Sheikh Hamdan said, "India and the UAE share more than strong economic ties, we share a bold vision for the future. Our partnership is built on trust, innovation, and a common commitment to shaping resilient, forward-looking economies that advance prosperity and enhance the welfare of the people of the two countries. As we deepen our cooperation across a range of vital sectors, we are not only unlocking new opportunities for growth, innovation and excellence, but also creating a distinctive model of bilateral collaboration."

The talks explored ways to build on the momentum generated by the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and the Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT), two frameworks that have laid the foundation for a more open, secure, and investment-friendly economic relationship.
