Saturday marked a new chapter in India-Arab relations as Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened with Arab foreign ministers during the second round of their ministerial dialogue at New Delhi’s Bharat Mandapam. The conversations emphasized historic affinities and strategies to enhance cooperation across diverse sectors.
The high-profile attendees encompassed the League of Arab States’ head and elite envoys. PM Modi underscored India’s firm intent to deepen engagements in trade dynamics, investment landscapes, energy paradigms, technological frontiers, health infrastructures, and additional realms.
Notably, the leader reaffirmed India’s enduring solidarity with Palestinians and extended welcomes to active peace pursuits, including the Gaza framework. He applauded the Arab League’s substantive influence on fostering tranquility and steadiness.
Modi presented an ambitious blueprint for evolving India-Arab synergy, prioritizing interpersonal connections and comprehensive sectoral alliances for reciprocal prosperity. India-UAE co-chairmanship ensures robust involvement from all 22 LAS members.
Reviving a mechanism dormant since 2016’s Bahrain session and anchored in the 2002 MoU, this IAFMM emerges as the cornerstone institutional conduit. The foreign ministry anticipates transformative advancements, elevating partnerships to unprecedented levels of depth and impact.
