The gathering, led by UAE Ambassador Dr. Abdulnasser Jamal Alshaali, welcomed diplomats, officials, and both Indian and Emirati community members.

A key theme of the evening was the expanding partnership in education, with Goyal announcing that prestigious Indian institutions such as IIT, IIM, and IIFT are setting up campuses in Dubai. This collaboration is laying the groundwork for increased international academic cooperation and enhancing personal connections.

Goyal later took to X to thank the UAE envoy for their hospitality, describing the India-UAE relationship as one founded on trust, progress, and a joint vision for the future.

The Delhi event showcased the evolution of the India-UAE partnership and the exciting prospects for future collaboration spanning trade, education, culture, and technology.
