UAE Minister Arrives In India To Participate In G-20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting

 International Cooperation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), arrived in India on Wednesday to participate in the G20 (Group of 20) Foreign Ministers' Meeting.

The G20 Foreign Ministers' Meeting concluded in New Delhi on Thursday. The UAE minister lauded the relations between the UAE and India. During the meeting, the UAE minister further said that the two countries achieved outstanding accomplishments as part of their comprehensive strategic partnership.

Sheikh Abdullah thanked India for organizing the summit and holding important discussions on pressing global issues. According to Emirates News Agency, the meeting included two main sessions to discuss food, energy, security, and development cooperation, as well as counterterrorism and narcotics.

The UAE minister also shed light on the UAE’s hosting of the COP28 climate conference this year. He said that the UAE would address prominent global issues during the summit. 

The two countries have established strong bilateral relations in recent years. The two countries also share a common vision of clean and green energy, renewable energy, and zero carbon goal.

In February 2022, the two countries signed the CEPA (Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement) in order to boost the bilateral trade deals between the UAE and India. The agreement came into force in May 2022. India’s non-petroleum exports to the UAE increased by 5% after the signing of the agreement.

In February 2022, the UAE and India reaffirmed their joint commitment to the fight against extremism and terrorism. During a virtual summit, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and UAE’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan agreed to resolve regional conflicts. 

Recently, UAE's climate envoy and designated president of the UN COP28 (Conference of the Parties 28) summit, Sultan al-Jaber, said that the UAE was ready to explore all partnership opportunities with India. He said that the UAE would work with India to help in its low-carbon plans of adding 500 gigawatts of clean energy in the coming years. 

The UAE has also planned to catalyze billions of investments in clean energy projects. The UAE has already invested billions of dollars in renewable projects in more than 70 developed and developing countries. The UAE also launched a decarbonization drive to mitigate the impact of climate change. 

The COP28 will take place at the Expo City, Dubai, from November 30 to December 12, 2023.

Experts in the Chinese defense industry argue that Beijing lacks the expertise to manufacture highly sophisticated military hardware and is not yet considered a top-tier producer of modern defense equipment.
