2 UIEF Brochure 2018 UAE & INDIA ADVANCE STRATEGIC RELATIONS India and UAE have fortified their bilateral trade relations, which have been advanced by the frequent visits by leaders from both countries, in a short span of 3 years to discuss the future of trade and investments. It is evident that both countries are acquiring a strong foothold in terms of contributing to the global economy and establishing their authority. Bilateral trade between UAE and India amounted to about USD 53 billion in , according to a report prepared by Export Genius. Both the countries have decided to increase trade by 60% over the next five years. India is considered to be the UAE s primary trade partner, accounting for about 9.8% of its total non-oil trade. It is also the largest importer of products from the UAE, buying about 14.9% of the country s total exports and about 8.7% of its re-exports.

The vision of US$ 100 billion in bilateral trade by 2020 can only be achieved with sustained efforts to constantly engage the key stakeholders, government authorities and investors in a dialogue which strengthens their faith in the establishment and the governments of the two countries something that the forum has been successfully doing for the past three years. Combining the above with awards and recognition, the forum honours businessmen from the two countries for their contribution to the economies of their home and host countries. Our belief in the economic prowess of the two countries has been confirmed by the support and encouragement we have received time and again through the backing and endorsements of key government bodies from both India and UAE. The forum, which was inaugurated by H.E. Juma Al Kait, Assistant Undersecretary, Foreign Trade Affairs, Ministry of Economy, UAE; Hon. Nitin Gadkari, Minister of Road Transport Highways and Shipping, Government of India along with H.E. Dr. Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Minister of Infrastructure, UAE in 2016 and by Hon.
