Andhra Pradesh will become a strategic node in ‘India-UAE economic corridor’, says UAE Minister Abdulla Al Marri

UAE Economy and Tourism Minister Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri observed that global volatility was different from the UAE-India story at this time-a long-standing vision.

July 24, Al Marri, on Wednesday, July 24, 2025, expressed the confidence that the two countries will grow towards a flexible future, “We pass through global volatility. Gray and black swans change every three months as they emerge. But the UAE and Indian barriers are building bridges, not obstacles,” he said.

Investopia, which addressed an investor, said that the UAE, which came together jointly by the CII and the EP Economic Development Board in Vijayawada, and India’s comprehensive economic partnership agreement in 2021, said that it took quick steps in bilateral trade.

India became the third largest trade partner of the UAE, and oil trade was expected to exceed $ 100 billion by the end of 2030. Non -oil exports to India made up approximately 13.50% of the total exports of the UAE.

When he talked about Andhra Pradesh, he said that the state was known for its entrepreneurial spirit and that infrastructure was stunned with its natural resources, especially rivers and long coastline and rich human capital.

While expressing his confidence that the EP will become a strategic node in the ‘India-UAE economic corridor’ because it has abundant resources and good connections, it promises to facilitate the dialogues that will bring synergies and investments to the state, including venture capital.

CT & HR Minister Nara Loksh, who participated in a session after the destruction, said that data centers would act as a core to start major economic activities and revealed the idea of ‘data embassies’.

This was the return of the EP in 2017-18, even before the Chatgpt is present. It was when the EP envisaged Visakhapatnam as the data city of India.

Lokesh has been a setback in the last five years, but now we are accelerating the journey. We believe that Visakhapatnam has the right components in India.

Loksh, state-government collaborations in India and the UAE’s bilateral relations is critical to make more progress, he added.
