The Federation of UAE Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FCCI) hosted a commercial delegation from India’s Madhya Pradesh in Dubai today to explore avenues for economic cooperation across key sectors including manufacturing, textiles, and automotive.
The delegation was led by Dr. Mohan Yadav, Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, and the discussions focused on expanding collaboration between private sector players from both countries. The talks also centred on strengthening economic ties through the Arab-Indian Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture, aiming to boost trade and encourage joint investments.
FCCI invites Indian firms to explore UAE market
Humaid Mohammed bin Salem, Secretary-General of FCCI, underscored the UAE’s appeal as a global investment hub. He pointed to the country’s world-class infrastructure, flexible economic legislation, and business-friendly environment as key drivers of investor confidence.
He extended an invitation to Indian companies to explore the vast opportunities within the UAE market and to forge strategic partnerships with Emirati businesses.
“The FCCI and its member chambers are fully committed to supporting cooperation between business leaders and investors from both countries,” bin Salem said.
Plans for future collaboration
A key outcome of the meeting was a proposal to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the FCCI and the Madhya Pradesh Development Authority. The MoU aims to enhance institutional cooperation, facilitate the exchange of expertise, and open direct communication channels between the two entities.
This initiative aligns with the growing momentum of UAE–India economic collaboration, reinforced by the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) and ongoing state-level outreach between Indian states and Emirati institutions.
