Relations between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have matured into a strategic partnership, strengthened by rising bilateral trade and marked by the 2022 Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA).
UAE Minister of Industry & Advanced Technology and Managing Director of the state-run Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), Sultan Al Jaber, said on Tuesday that the India-UAE partnership is based on trust and will succeed in withstanding global volatilities.

"A partnership that is strategic, long-term, agile, and flexible; steadfast, dependable, principled, and consistent. A partnership based on trust and (that) will endure through thick and thin — this is precisely what defines the UAE-India relationship," Al Jaber stated at India Energy Week 2026.

Earlier this month, India and the UAE signed a letter of intent to transform their military ties into a strategic defence partnership.

The two countries vowed to increase their bilateral trade to $200 billion by 2032 from current levels of $100 billion.

India is the UAE’s top market for liquefied natural gas (LNG) and its number-one supplier of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

"As India consumes more crude to fuel its refineries, ADNOC is proud to be a trusted and dependable supplier. As India aims to double the share of natural gas in its energy mix, we have made the country our number one market for LNG," he emphasised. "We will continue to supply feedstocks and chemicals for India’s petrochemical and industrial needs."
