Jaishankar Meets UAE Deputy PM, Discusses Regional Situation

The two-day trip comes as India seeks stable energy supplies and deeper cooperation, with officials citing $20 billion in UAE petroleum imports this year.

  • On Saturday, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar arrived in Abu Dhabi for a two-day official visit to review cooperation and deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between India and the United Arab Emirates.
  • India's energy supply has faced significant disruptions due to the six-week war in West Asia, prompting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to direct ministers to visit Gulf nations and ensure stable fuel supplies.
  • India imported around $20 billion in petroleum products from the UAE during the 2025-2026 financial year, supported by long-term agreements between ADNOC Gas and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited signed in recent years.
  • During the visit, Jaishankar will assess Abu Dhabi's positioning on regional issues, including tensions with Pakistan, as the UAE sought repayment of roughly $3.55 billion in loans from Islamabad amid the crisis.
  • The visit aligns with India's broader outreach in West Asia as New Delhi navigates the fragile ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran while solidifying strategic ties with the UAE.
