India UAE Partnership Summit boosts economic ties

DUBAI, 18th January, 2023 (WAM) -- In efforts to promote and boost business relations between India and the UAE, the International Business Linkage Forum (IBLF), together with Dubai Chambers, will host the India UAE Partnership Summit on 23rd-25th January in Dubai.

Jointly organised by IBLF and Dubai International Chamber, one of the three chambers operating under Dubai Chambers, the summit follows a rise in business interest between the two countries on the back of the CEPA agreement and the announcement of Golden visas in the UAE.

The summit is also in line with the chambers' priority of attracting foreign companies into the emirate and helping Dubai businesses expand internationally.

India is the world's fifth-largest economy and the second-biggest trading partner to the UAE in 2021. Being the first country to sign a bilateral trade agreement with the UAE, India is integral to the country's economy and is home to 3.5 million Indian citizens, making up 30% of the UAE's population.

Held over the course of three days, the summit will discuss pertinent topics, including trade opportunities between India and the UAE, with a deep dive into a number of sectors such as manufacturing, startups, healthcare and food processing, as well as UAE's Golden visa
