The 2015 visit of India’s Prime Minister gave new momentum to the relationship between the two countries and his next visit to UAE in January, 2022 will further cement the ties, added Birla. “As India is celebrating Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsava on 75th year of its Independence, UAE is also celebrating 50 years of its Foundation Day,” Birla recalled.
