An interview with Al Ghurair, who was in India last month visiting Mumbai and Ahmedabad. “Through this visit, we hope to take bilateral relations to the next level before we open a representative office in India, which we are planning to do later this year,” he told us during the course of an interview. ‘India is a major focus of our international expansion strategy’ Excerpts: Do you see India emerge as a significant trade partner for Dubai over the coming years? India is one of the UAE’s top trading partners and Dubai’s second-largest trading partner. India-UAE relations have strengthened over the past decades due to political understanding and common economic interests between the two countries. The Indian business community in the UAE has contributed significantly to bilateral relations and trade. In fact, 29% of all new companies that registered with Dubai Chamber last year were Indian, bringing the total number of Indian members to over 36,000. Our close relationship with India is symbolic of Dubai Chamber’s strategy of reaching out to promising markets of the world, and providing our 201,000 members with access to new trade and investment opportunities. 19
