India’s minister of state for external affairs, V Muraleedharan, will arrive in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, January 19, on a three-day state visit.
“During the visit, the minister will meet with UAE dignitaries and a broad cross-section of the Indian community in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and some northern emirates,” India’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
The minister’s engagements in the Emirates will include interactions with Indian businesspersons, professionals, teachers and students.
The Minister will also interact with Indian blue-collar workers and social leaders in the UAE, the ministry said.
“This year will be special for both India and the UAE as they will have the respective presidencies of the Group of Twenty (G20) and the COP28 climate talks,” the ministry statement said.
India’s external affairs minister Dr. S Jaishankar visited the Emirates in December 2022.
“India and the UAE have continued to maintain close coordination in the spirit of their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership,” the statement said.
