India-UAE ties have been transformed over the last few years. Now, we are raising our ambitions even higher.
Delighted to meet His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Discussed taking our Strategic Partnership forward across defence, AI, space, critical minerals, energy, food security and connectivity.
From investments ties to new possibilities in strategic energy infrastructure and IMEC connectivity, there is immense potential ahead.
At a time of uncertainty in West Asia, a strong India-UAE is a symbol of stability, prosperity and peace.
شهدت العلاقات بين الهند والإمارات تحولاً كبيراً خلال السنوات القليلة الماضية، ونحن الآن نرتقي بطموحاتنا إلى مستويات أعلى.
سعدت بلقاء سمو الشيخ خالد بن محمد بن زايد آل نهيان.
ناقشنا سبل دفع شراكتنا الاستراتيجية قدماً في مجالات الدفاع، والذكاء الاصطناعي، والفضاء، والمعادن الحيوية، والطاقة، والأمن الغذائي، والربط الاستراتيجي.
تنتظرنا آفاق واعدة وإمكانات هائلة، بدءاً من العلاقات الاستثمارية ووصولاً إلى الفرص الجديدة في البنية التحتية الاستراتيجية للطاقة ومشاريع الربط ضمن الممر الاقتصادي بين الهند والشرق الأوسط وأوروبا (IMEC).
في ظل حالة عدم اليقين التي تشهدها منطقة غرب آسيا، تُمثّل العلاقة القوية بين الهند والإمارات رمزاً للاستقرار والازدهار والسلام.

My friend got himself onboarded as a Swiggy delivery partner in Indiranagar, Bangalore, just for fun.
He came back with some serious cloud kitchen stories.
Same kitchen
Two different brands
Same chef
But apparently, the bigger concern was the hygiene.
Now he is asking us to stop ordering from cloud kitchens
At this point, just eat Maggi. You might still be eating better than what some cloud kitchens are serving.
Look who all are in the room at BRICS summit. The expanded version now has half the world’s population, 40% of the global GDP & 26% of world trade. Russia & China want reduced American influence in all institutions, India demonstrating strategic independence+ zero subordination
#GTontheSpot: Ahead of the #BRICS Summit, BRICS flags, banners, and logos can be seen across New Delhi. The streets are clean, and security has been visibly stepped up. Follow a Global Times reporter to feel the BRICS vibe in the Indian capital.
South Africa’s President meets Gautam Adani in New Delhi.
BRICS isn’t just about diplomacy anymore, it’s about business, investment and influence.
This is the new India. 🇮🇳🔥
Putin landed early. Xi is landing early. The rest of BRICS is coming into Delhi before the summit opens.
Congress spent a decade saying Modi had isolated India.
Isolated countries do not get this calendar.
They called him a tourist. The tourists are now heads of state landing in his country.
BRICS Summit 2026: Chinese President Arrives in India
We should temper expectations from the Modi-Xi meeting. Progress on flights, visas and dialogue mechanisms would be a positive step, but India-China ties still have a long way to go: Gautam Bambawale, Former Indian Ambassador to China
Security has been significantly tightened in Delhi, with a coordinated deployment of police and security personnel along Xi Jinping’s route as his convoy heads to the hotel: @priyanktripathi shares more details with @madhavgk
#WATCH | Delhi: On the 18th BRICS Summit, German media delegate Ben says, "...I am very surprised. India is very much better than expected... The organisation of the summit so far is absolutely perfect. We got media equipment (media kit)... I have been to the BRICS summits in Brazil and South Africa, but this is the best bag... They gave us some vegan super food, coffee... and a mug which is light... Some other stuff, like a beautiful scarf, bottle, and some more super food..." (11.09)
#WATCH | BRICS Summit 2026 | Delhi: Wenting Xie, Chinese Journalist from Global Times, says, "The visit is a very important opportunity to further improve bilateral ties between China and India. Both countries are major developing countries and important members of the Global South. I think China and India working together serves the interests of both people and contributes to the development of the Global South. I think China is ready to work together with India to strengthen communication, enhance cooperation, properly handle differences, and be partners that help each other succeed. Both countries have huge potential for development and growth. I think cooperation between China and India serves the interests of the Global South, and that is what the Global South wants to see.
She adds, "China fully supports India’s work as Chair (BRICS) and is ready to work with all parties to promote this great BRICS cooperation. As you have mentioned, India is the Chair this year, and China fully supports India’s presidency. China will take over the chair next year. So, I think there is huge potential for China and India to work more closely together to enhance this great BRICS cooperation..."
The National Security Guard (NSG) has been deployed as part of the multi-layered security arrangements at and around Bharat Mandapam, the venue for the BRICS Summit.

#BREAKING
Chiness President Xi Jinping lands in New Delhi
Major moment for India-China relations
Xi is back in India for first time in seven years, arriving for the BRICS Summit. His last visit was in October 2019, when he met PM Narendra Modi in Mamallapuram
Lot happened after that. The 2020 Galwan clash sent relations to their lowest point in decades, military deployments surged along the LAC, and India tightened restrictions on Chinese apps, investment and visas
Since 2024, however, the two sides have slowly started rebuilding ties, with troop disengagement, direct flights returning and visa restrictions easing
