“I've had two very engaging days of extensive discussions, meetings at the highest level of government and business in UAE, and I'm closing this two-day visit on a tone of high optimism, great confidence, and reassurance that UAE-India strategic partnership is strong,” Goyal said.

There's a mutual commitment towards deeper engagement, big business, large investments, and further effort to expand our relations at the political, diplomatic, economic, and people-to-people, he said.

“After the very successful 13th High Level Taskforce of Investments yesterday (Thursday) morning, we had a series of engagements with different ministers of the UAE government, with the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and their senior members,” he said.
