"The UAE has been one of the most active participating countries in the G20 Summit. Every month there has been more than one or two ministers travelling to attend all the meetings from foreign affairs, energy or the environment."

"For India, as a host to invite the UAE, speaks of our depth of our relationship."

Sudhir, speaking at the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi, said India hosting the G20 summit and the UAE hosting COP28 shows the countries are aligned in their visions and stressed the importance of the upcoming climate change conference.
