It also discussed assistance and support to both governments for expediting the resolution of issues associated with existing investments and opportunities for new cross-border investments across a range of sectors.

It decided to set up working groups for strengthening and developing bilateral relations in investment sectors.

Sharma underlined India's status as a major destination for foreign investments and opportunities for the UAE, especially in infrastructure areas such as roads and highways, power and utilities, civil aviation, ports, urban infrastructure etc. and participation through the Infrastructure Debt Funds.

He also highlighted India's desire to participate in the cooperation in the oil and gas sector of UAE.

UAE's Sheikh Hamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said: "Today we have laid the groundwork for what I am confident will be a fruitful series of discussions around issues of significant interest and importance to both the UAE and India."

More than 50 government and private sector representatives from the UAE and India attended the meeting.
