His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and the UAE's Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister, has concluded his first official visit to India.
He held talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other senior leaders to strengthen ties between the two countries.
During the visit, eight key agreements were signed covering areas like healthcare, education, infrastructure and maritime services.
These build on the momentum of the 2022 UAE-India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and the Bilateral Investment Treaty (BIT), which have created a strong foundation for a more open, secure and investment-friendly economic relationship.
Sheikh Hamdan praised the strong and growing partnership between the UAE and India, calling it a model of mutual trust and shared ambition.
He also highlighted the important role of trade, innovation and technology in shaping a brighter, more connected future for both nations.
In a message shared at the end of his trip, Sheikh Hamdan thanked Prime Minister Modi and the Indian people for their warm hospitality.
As I conclude my visit to India, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Prime Minister @NarendraModi, as well as to government and people of India for their warm welcome and generous hospitality.
