Abu Dhabi (UAE), Dec 12 (ANI): Extoling the ties between UAE and India at the India Global Forum and panel discussion on India-UAE in Abu Dhabi, Union External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on December 12 said that the UAE has a particular salience in India’s perspectives. “The UAE is today India's 3rd largest trade partner. It is our 2nd largest export market. More Indian citizens live in UAE than in any other country abroad. So whether we are talking people, or whether we are talking business, UAE has a particular salience in our perspectives,” the EAM said. “The fact that we were able to conclude the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement so quickly and has led to such effective results thereafter, speaks really volumes for the relationship. We're now moving into new areas,” he added.
