We expect this unique relationship to strengthen going
forward, as the UAE and India begin to implement the terms
of recent partnership agreements that cover a wide range of
sectors and industries.
Plans are also in the works to introduce five-year business
and tourist visas to India for UAE citizens and residents. This is
an important development which stands to significantly boost
bilateral ties.
What are the key factors that Dubai and UAE-based
investors and entrepreneurs look at when they seek
investments in India?
Some of the key aspects we study before leading trade
delegations to target markets include the synergies that exist
between the UAE and other countries, the local business
environment, investment and legal landscape, growth
opportunities, risks and challenges.
With regards to India, we evaluated all of these areas and
identified key sectors in the country that offer our members
the most potential. There are plenty of trade and investment
opportunities, especially within the country’s infrastructure,
hospitality, banking and finance, manufacturing and
construction and pharmaceutical sectors, which we have
explored during this trade mission.
What are your suggestions for changes that can be done
in various segments of the economy in India to attract
more global investors including those from Dubai and
other parts of the Gulf and Middle East?
