India and UAE enjoy warm, close and multi-faceted relationship which is built on the deep bonds of friendship between both sides.

"The relationship between the two countries, which was elevated to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2017, encompasses all areas of mutual cooperation – political, economic, trade, commerce, defence, cultural, technology and energy, with people-to-people ties forming the bedrock. UAE is currently host to more than 3.5 million Indian citizens, the largest outside India," read a government statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

The UAE side gave a detailed briefing on various steps taken by the government to ensure the welfare of the Indian workers in the UAE.

Both sides reiterated their commitment to continue to work towards citizen-centric consular mechanisms.

Outcomes from the meeting also included regular exchange of statistics related to the citizens of each others’ countries and best practices on consular matters.
