External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar concluded a four-day diplomatic mission to Mauritius and the UAE on Sunday, highlighting the resilience of the India-UAE strategic partnership. During his visit to Abu Dhabi, Jaishankar met with UAE President HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the Crown Prince of Dubai, HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, to review bilateral initiatives in trade and energy.

The Minister delivered a message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasizing the importance of regional stability and security in light of recent geopolitical challenges in the Gulf. Jaishankar noted that despite a complex regional environment, the dialogue between the two nations remains transparent and robust.

A central focus of the discussions was the welfare of the Indian diaspora. Jaishankar shared feedback from the expatriate community with the UAE leadership, expressing gratitude for the care provided to Indian citizens during recent periods of regional hostility. The visit, which followed his participation in the 9th Indian Ocean Conference in Mauritius, reinforces the deep-rooted economic and social ties between India and one of its most significant regional partners.
