The topics of climate change, hosting COP 28, and other related topics were discussed between the two ministers. The two ministers had already signed a climate action agreement before this meeting that they were attending. The climate change initiative, the implementation of the Paris agreement, and the public-private partnership in renewable energy was some other important topic of discussion. They also talked about green hydrogen and other initiatives that are all part of the bilateral collaboration.
The Minister from the UAE also met with the Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, as well as the Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and India will continue to investigate methods to expand their collaboration on climate change.
