Gaining a strong foothold on the regional and international stage

It is a great privilege for me to extend the warm greetings and best wishes of the government and the people of India on the happy occasion of the 68^th anniversary of our independence.
On this day, as we celebrate with pride and honour our national achievements since independence, we also cherish with deep gratitude the immense contributions of the architects of our independence.
We gratefully pay our homage to them and ensure that they inspire us today to dedicate ourselves to the cause of upholding timeless values of non-violence, freedom, tolerance and harmony, and pledge to build a strong and modern India of the 21^st century.
This is also an occasion when we commemorate the shared ideals and aspirations of global peace, security, stability and prosperity that form the bedrock of the vibrant partnership between India and the UAE.
Our age-old cultural, religious and economic ties have matured into a mutually beneficial cooperation on several issues of regional and international significance.
Several high-level bilateral visits have further provided a new impetus to the bilateral relations. In the economic and commercial arena, vibrancy and resilience underpin the ties between the two countries. The two nations are ever ready to explore newer areas of bilateral cooperation.
Further, following the spirit of collaborative approach to deal with global challenges, India is actively participating in the meetings and deliberations of  the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), based in Abu Dhabi.
I deeply appreciate the hard work, productive prowess and enterprising zeal of the Indian community in the UAE, which has contributed in nurturing and further strengthening the cordial relations between India and the UAE.
Several measures have been taken in recent months to increase accessibility and transparency and to improve the ease and quality of interactions between the Embassy, its Consulate and the public.
The Indian Embassy is ever ready to extend all support and assistance to endeavours, which further contribute to the enhancement of our important relationship.  With faith in ourselves and faith in our capacity to work together, we will continue to march on the path of progress and development.
Jai Hind!
