Jaishankar Meets UAE President in Abu Dhabi
External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar today called on UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi.
In a social media post, Dr Jaishankar said that he met with Sheikh Mohammed, the President of the UAE. I brought with me a message from Prime Minister Modi, and our conversation focused on our strategic relationship and its various initiatives, such as energy, economic trade, and the energy and trade relationship.
The UAE is a major partner for us, so we discussed that. We also discussed other topics. But one of the main points was our Indian community in the UAE, in Abu Dhabi, elsewhere, and in Dubai. At the time of the recent war, their safety and well-being were a major issue. People in India were also concerned. As soon as I arrived yesterday, I met with representatives of the community. I shared their experiences and feelings with the President of the UAE. He also wanted me to share the feedback I received. I did that as well.
There’s a lot of diplomacy going on these days, and the situation here is quite complex, so we discussed it openly. Overall, I’m happy that this visit happened at the right time and that the dialogue between strategic partners was as open as it usually is.
