India–United Arab Emirates relations

UAE Ambassador to Greece Ali Obaid Al Dhaheri highlighted the strengthening of UAE-Greece relations in the fields of finance, tourism and culture during a press conference in Athens.

"The bilateral relations between the UAE and Greece are stronger than ever, based on a shared vision for growth and prosperity," he said, adding that the UAE is keen to boost bilateral trade.

In what may be seen as a big boost for India's policy towards West Asia, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE armed forces Mohammed bin Zayed bin Sultan Al-Nahyan has confirmed his participation in the Republic Day Parade in New Delhi as a chief guest on January 26, 2017.
