UAE President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi witnessed the exchange of several important agreements aimed at strengthening cooperation between the UAE and India.

The exchanges took place during Sheikh Mohamed’s working visit to India and covered major sectors including defence, space, energy, food security, and investment.

A key highlight was the exchange of a letter of intent to establish a strategic defence partnership, reinforcing security and defence collaboration between the two nations.

In the space sector, the UAE Space Agency and India’s National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre signed a letter of intent to support cooperation in space industry development and commercial partnerships.

Energy cooperation was further strengthened through a sales and purchase agreement between ADNOC Gas and India’s Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited.

The two sides also signed a memorandum of understanding on food safety and technical standards between the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment and India’s Agricultural & Processed Food Products Export Development Authority.

Investment ties received a boost with a letter of intent between the UAE Ministry of Investment and the Government of Gujarat, focusing on the development of the Dholera Special Investment Region.

These agreements highlight the growing strategic partnership between the UAE and India across multiple sectors.
