Five Pledges

 “Working towards a Viksit Bharat, remember the time before Independence… yes, people had different methods of working but the goal was the same and the goal was big – the freedom of India. In this Amrit Kaal we have to come together and work towards another big goal of a Viksit Bharat,” he said.

India – UAE Relations

“While India engaged with all its partners around the globe, the India-UAE relationship has emerged stronger than ever,” said Sunjay Sudhir, India’s Ambassador to the UAE in his Independence Day message. “As if ordained by destiny, while India celebrated the 75th year of independence, the UAE also celebrated the Year of the 50th, to mark the Golden Jubilee of the formation of the UAE. Furthermore, this is also the year when our two countries complete 50 years of diplomatic relations.

“India and UAE jointly broke new ground with announcement of the I2U2 Group along with Israel and the United States in October 2021. In a matter of months, the I2U2 summit was convened between Prime Minister Modi, President Sheikh Mohamed, President Biden and Israeli PM Yair Lapid. With an outcome oriented approach, the I2U2 Joint statement was full of intent, content and key announcements, including an investment of $ 2 billion by the UAE to develop food parks in India and a USD 330 million joint project to develop renewable energy capacity of upto 300 MW in India. The goal of I2U2 transcends national boundaries and is aimed at harnessing the vibrancy and entrepreneurial spirit of the four societies to tackle some of the greatest challenges confronting the world today.”
