|September 05, 2025
Dr Thani Bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Foreign Trade, met with the Indian Business Council in the UAE to explore avenues for strengthening economic ties and private sector collaboration between the two countries.
-
The meeting is part of ongoing efforts to further leverage the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) that entered into force in 2022, which has been instrumental in significantly deepening bilateral trade and investment.
In the meeting, Al Zeyoudi underscored the importance of India as a trading partner, noting that non-oil trade between the UAE and India reached $65 billion in 2024, which reflected a robust growth of 19.7 per cent compared to the previous year.
"India is an essential partner in the UAE's trade landscape," Al Zeyoudi stated. "Today's discussions were centered on maximising the benefits of our CEPA to foster deeper collaboration between our vibrant private sectors."
