External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday landed in Abu Dhabi to engage in extensive talks with his UAE counterpart, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The discussions are set to cover a broad array of topics, including the current situation in Gaza and bilateral ties.

Before the meeting, Jaishankar visited the recently inaugurated BAPS Hindu Mandir, describing it as a 'visible symbol of India-UAE friendship' and a 'true cultural bridge' between the two nations. The temple, located on a 27-acre site near Al Rahba, showcased remarkable craftsmanship and stands as a testament to the strengthening relationship between the countries.

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) noted that Jaishankar's visit aims to review the entire spectrum of the comprehensive strategic partnership between India and the UAE, further solidifying the already robust ties since the landmark visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in August 2015. The UAE remains a significant player in India's foreign investments and trade relations.
