In New Delhi on Monday, Neena Malhotra, the Ministry of External Affairs’ Secretary (South), led a meeting with Arab ambassadors to boost ties between India and the Arab League. The discussion covered ways to deepen diplomatic, economic, and cultural cooperation.
A spokesperson for the ministry, Randhir Jaiswal, shared a tweet: “Secretary (South) chaired a consultation with Arab Ambassadors in New Delhi today. We discussed ways to strengthen cooperation between India and the League of Arab States.”
India’s relationship with Arab League members is long‑standing. Trade, scholarship, and diplomacy have linked India to the Arab world for centuries, with merchants and scholars crossing the Arabian Sea and land routes. Shared language and religion continue to sustain these bonds.
The Arab League, founded in Cairo in 1945, now counts 22 members across North Africa and the Middle East. These countries sit in India’s extended neighbourhood. Most of India’s exports travel through the Suez Canal, the Red Sea, and the Gulf of Aden, making the corridor vital for global trade.
India sees the Arab League as a key partner in the international economy. The ministry says the region offers many opportunities for business and investment, and that India is eager to play a larger role in shaping future global trade patterns.
Over the past decade, India and Arab states have opened new economic avenues. The partnership has helped boost growth, create jobs, and foster sustainable development in both regions.
