Based on the millennia-old cultural, religious and economic interaction between the UAE and India, the partnership still stands tall and strong. Regardless of what the sector is, the ties between these two countries are held in high regard to the contributions and growth they experience.
India’s extended neighbourhood with the UAE has gained strategic importance due to its geostrategic location, availability of adequate energy resources, home to a significant number of Indians, as well as an important source of remittances to India, and growth prospects for social sectors such as education and health.
Since the beginning of the diplomatic relations between India and UAE, people-to-people contacts have brought in change that promotes and improves social justice, security and confidence of the people in both countries. Given that the UAE is aspiring to transition from an oil-dependent economy to a knowledge-based economy, the India-UAE relationship has the potential to expand to critical areas such as space, Artificial Intelligence, health, science, technology and innovation.
The growing bilateral trade and a growing share of the world economy are shared by India and the UAE on a mutually advantageous basis. Both countries have implemented the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) from May 1, 2022 to boost bilateral trade and investments in the coming years. In the entire term of this partnership, Indians have emerged as important investors within the UAE. With India’s newfound strength in exports, a trade agreement with an important country such as the UAE would help sustain the growth momentum. A trade agreement is also an enabler for two-way investment flows.
With a curriculum filled with promoting skill development, the educational sector in India and UAE works to foster humans who can think logically and analyze properly. With the collaboration between the two nations, skill-based education is promoted for students to develop the most in-demand skills in the market. The education system in these two nations strongly stands on the belief that students should be made industry ready and gain exposure to the corporate world.

Today, India is one of the most preferred destinations for International students because of the quality education, affordable fees and safe and healthy environment for students. Thousands of students from the UAE are driven towards India every year to achieve their career aspirations.
