Bilateral discussions focus on arts, heritage, and creative industries to enhance cultural collaboration
In a significant step toward deepening cultural relations between the UAE and India, Noura Bint Mohammed Al Kaabi co-chaired a high-level delegation meeting with K. Nandini Singla, Director General of the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR). The discussions aimed at strengthening people-to-people connections and expanding collaboration across arts, education, heritage conservation, and youth engagement, reported gulftoday.ae.
India House Initiative Takes Center Stage
One of the key highlights of the meeting was the proposal for an India House in the UAE—a cultural hub to showcase India’s rich artistic heritage. The idea is to establish a global platform for cultural exchange and foster deeper cooperation between the two nations.
Expanding Creative and Business Collaboration
The UAE delegation, including Mubarak Al Nakhi, Ghanem Al Hajeri, Abdulnasser Alshaali, and Abdelrahman Al Maeeni, explored opportunities for creative start-ups, business-to-business collaborations, and the formation of thematic sub-committees to oversee cooperation across priority areas.
