What happened
The United Arab Emirates and India discussed strengthening strategic relations and bilateral cooperation during a meeting in Mumbai. During the talks, leaders set a target of $200 billion for bilateral trade between the two nations. The discussion also covered investment, energy, and India’s participation in the United Nations Water Conference hosted by the UAE in December 2026.
