Indian ambassador takes advantage of open door at UAE

When Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyen, the crown prince of Abu Dhabi, visited India not long ago to sign multiple economic and investment agreements, he left the door open for a reciprocal visit by an Indian official. Navdeep Singh Suri took him up on the offer recently.

Suri, India’s ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, was hosted by the Abu Dhabi Chamber, where he was met by Thani Murshid Al-Rumaithi, chairman of the Federation of the UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry and chairman of the Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry. They and the chamber discussed increasing industrial cooperation between the two countries.

Al-Rumaithi discussed the importance of supporting agreements and strategic partnerships among industries from both nations. He described India as an important trading partner for the UAE, noting that many UAE companies already have investments in India, in oil and gas exploration, energy, programming, construction, property development, shipping, ports, hotels, telecommunications and IT, among others.
