NEW DELHI: Among the highlights of the India-UAE joint vision statement was the fact that India and UAE reaffirmed their joint commitment to fight against extremism and terrorism, including cross-border terrorism, in all forms, at both regional and international levels. This is important for India as it helps the government corner Pakistan on the issue of cross-border terrorism.
PM Narendra Modi said India will stand shoulder to shoulder with UAE in the fight against terrorism while complimenting the UAE for showing interest in investing in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Following the successful visit of the Lieutenant Governor of J&K to the UAE last month, several Emirati companies have shown interest in investing in J&K,” he said.
“We welcome investment by UAE in all sectors, including logistics, healthcare, hospitality, in Jammu and Kashmir,” Modi added.
The two countries also agreed to enhance maritime cooperation, and to contribute to maintenance of peace and security in the region.
