A great pleasure to join UAE DPM & FM Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed Al-Nahyan @ABZayed for the @raisinadialogue Middle East session on ‘The World Ahead: Power, Purpose & Possibility’ in Abu Dhabi.
In our conversation, underscored that:
✅ It is important to recognize the increasing pace of change in the global order. Reflects both long term trends and immediate shocks.
✅ Countries respond as per their specific situation. New partnerships and fresh options are inevitably explored in that pursuit.
✅ This involves going beyond traditional comfort zones and developing sharper strategic awareness.
✅ The reform of multilateralism is urgent. It can be supported through stronger minilateralism.
✅ The 🇮🇳 🇦🇪 partnership of the last decade is a great example of our two nations responding to the changing global environment.
The High Commission of India, Gaborone, bids a heartfelt and warm farewell to H.E. Shri Bharath Kumar Kuthati, High Commissioner of India to Botswana. His dedicated service, warm leadership and invaluable contributions to strengthening India-Botswana relations will be fondly remembered.
As he embarks on his new journey as the High Commissioner of India to the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago, we extend our best wishes for a successful and fulfilling tenure ahead. He will be greatly missed!
