The MEA said that both India and UAE are committed to moving forward in their partnership in diverse areas, including trade, investment, conventional and renewable energy, food security, health, skill development, education, culture, defence, space, consular issues and people-to-people ties.
These areas were also discussed at official levels during the meetings of the Sub-Committees of the JCM held on August 23-24, 2022.
