Union Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal met Sheikh Tahnoon Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Ruler of Abu Dhabi, on Friday to explore deeper cooperation between India and the UAE in artificial intelligence, energy security, and strategic investment.
According to Sheikh Tahnoon’s post on X, the talks covered global economic and technological trends, highlighting the role of AI in productivity and growth. Both leaders emphasized innovation-led collaboration and reaffirmed their commitment to advancing bilateral ties through infrastructure development and secure energy partnerships.
Minister Goyal echoed these sentiments, noting that immense opportunities exist across sectors. “Looking forward to building on these opportunities, strengthening investment ties, and deepening the India-UAE partnership,” he stated.
The meeting reflects the growing strength of India-UAE relations, particularly in areas of technology-driven growth and long-term investment. The two nations are already strong partners in trade, with growing collaboration in renewable energy, logistics, and digital technologies.
Earlier, Goyal visited the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi, describing it as a “landmark of spiritual grace and architectural excellence.” The temple, inaugurated earlier this year, stands as a cultural symbol of India-UAE friendship.
