India, UAE sign ten-year LNG deal, pledge closer defense ties
The LNG pact is part of a series of outcomes from UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s visit to New Delhi and talks with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which also include multiple memorandums of understanding, an Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson says.
A joint statement issued after the meeting emphasizes that the leaders “acknowledged steady and strong bilateral defence and security cooperation as a core pillar of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.”
On Monday, the two nations sign a letter of intent “towards the conclusion of a strategic defense partnership.”
Officials note that the LNG agreement between Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited and ADNOC Gas provides for the delivery of 0.5 million tonnes per year of liquefied natural gas, starting in 2028.
The statement also highlights that both leaders “welcomed deep respect for each other’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and the importance of strategic autonomy.”
