"India is the UAE’s second-largest trading partner and the UAE is India’s third-largest trading partner with trade between the two reaching $60 billion last year. The relationship between us has existed for centuries, and as one of the fastest-growing emerging markets in the world, we are proud to be part of its development efforts."
