The second India-Arab Foreign Ministers’ Meeting will be held in New Delhi on Saturday. The meeting will be co-chaired by India and the UAE, with participation from the Foreign Ministers of Arab League member states and the Secretary General of the Arab League. This will be the first India-Arab FMM hosted by India in New Delhi.
The Foreign Ministers’ meeting is taking place after a gap of 10 years, following the first meeting held in Bahrain in 2016.
