Indian ambassador calls on young people to continue to work for progress of UAE

Deepak Mittal, India's ambassador to the UAE, has urged the nation's citizens to continue working towards India's progress and development, especially the young population. As India marks its 79th Independence Day, the message is to work together with the UAE as "true friends" and partners to "bounce back stronger together" amidst regional conflicts.

The embassy in Abu Dhabi and Dubai will host performances, awards, and competitions to celebrate the spirit of patriotism and nationalism. The Indian tricolour flag will be raised at Indian embassies and consulates around the world to mark this special occasion.

Mittal emphasized that the Indian diaspora in the UAE should explore ways to contribute to India's growth and take pride in their roots. He highlighted India's condemnation of the attacks during the Iran-US war, appreciating the UAE leadership's efforts to keep residents safe. Despite challenges, Mittal believes India and the UAE share a strong friendship that will withstand any difficulties.

The ambassador stressed that India's support for dialogue and diplomacy to resolve conflicts, while also condemning any breach of UAE sovereignty, will continue. The focus will be on strengthening essential supply routes and trade, with bilateral trade already surpassing $100 billion and aiming to double to $200 billion by 2032.
