DUBAI- India’s Foreign Secretary Harsh V Shringla has expressed the confidence that India-UAE bilateral relations will see extraordinary developments in coming months.
"We are in the process of negotiating a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the UAE," he said, adding that negotiations are proceeding well.
"We are optimistic that it will provide a unique opportunity to take India-UAE trade and investment relations to new heights. We are looking forward to the conclusion of the negotiations at the earliest," he said while speaking on the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) between India and the UAE during his visit to the India Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai.
"There is a lot more to see in the India-UAE bilateral relationship as we progress. Our relationship is based on technology, finance and energy and today it is further bolstered by the most important aspect of people-to-people contact," he added.
Elaborating on the India-UAE relations, the Foreign Secretary said, "We must acknowledge that our relationship with the United Arab Emirates is at a high-point. The visit of His Highness, the Crown Prince of the Abu Dhabi, to India in 2016 and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s visit to the UAE in 2018 opened a new chapter in our bilateral relations. Those two visits shaped our relationship."
