India and UAE signs slew of agreements

Around 45 agreements and memoranda of understanding have been signed between the UAE and India in just two and a half years, and another 12-14 are expected to be inked when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits the UAE where he will be key note speaker at the sixth World Government Summit.

It speaks volumes about the growing engagement between the two countries that have traditionally thrived on trade relations, and about the personal rapport the leaders of the nations share with each other.

The two countries have had three high-level visits sinceAugust 2015, as a result of which the governments of the UAE and India are now working closely through two committees and a task force.
