On Tuesday  the official Twitter handle of the Consulate General of India in Dubai added that, “HH Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, UAE Minister of Tolerance & Coexistence, highlighted the message of peace, civility as well as nonviolence that our father of the nation #MahatmaGandhi symbolized.”  

Addressing the delegates, he said, “Today we recognise his enduring call to all to be aware, lying on our non-violence strength and to be agents of peaceful change,” as he described Mahatma Gandhi as a remarkable man.

“In my view, today’s event is an opportunity for us to reflect on the state of our world. To look at the individual roles we each can play. And, most importantly, to focus our attention on their utility,” he said.

Over the years  the relationship of UAE and India have a strong and long-standing bilateral relationship based on political, economic, and cultural ties. The two countries cooperate on a range of issues, including trade, investment, energy, defense, and climate change and now we are glad to witness that UAE is being an example of tolerance, peaceful co-existence, religious harmony - a value that has been deeply embedded in the country.
