The Diwali celebration in Zabeel Park, anticipated to attract 40,000 people, will showcase the diversity of Indian culture through a vibrant array of cultural, artistic, musical, and folkloric activities, including a special segment honouring the outstanding achievements of Indians in the UAE.
This event not only highlights the UAE's success in fostering a peaceful and harmonious multicultural society but also underscores its commitment to global partnerships and cross-cultural understanding. By actively participating in the celebrations of its diverse international communities, the UAE reinforces its global standing as a champion of tolerance and coexistence.
The UAE-India ties are rooted in a long history of close collaboration, exemplified by the bilateral cultural agreement signed during the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's historical visit to India in January 1975.
UAE President Sheikh Mohamed's visit to India in January 2017 marked a turning point in bilateral relations, culminating in a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement and 13 other agreements and MoUs.
Additionally, a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement signed between the two nations is expected to boost investments and trade flow, paving the way to increasing bilateral non-oil trade exchange to US $100 billion by 2030.
The UAE and India have maintained these strong ties through 14 meetings of the CEPA Joint Committee and three strategic dialogues.
The large Indian community in the UAE thrives as a harmonious part of its diverse society, contributing significantly to the deepening of economic, social, and cultural ties between both nations.
