India<\/strong> has stepped up its diplomatic outreach across the GCC following the US-Iran ceasefire<\/strong>, with senior ministers engaging with the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar over energy supplies, disruptions to trade, and securing maritime routes. <\/p>\n

Security concerns take center stage with the UAE: <\/strong>India\u2019s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi yesterday to discuss rising risks to maritime security and global energy supplies while signaling a coordinated approach to protecting critical sea lanes such as the Strait of Hormuz, state news agency Wam<\/a> reports. The two reviewed progress under the bilateral trade pact<\/a>, centered on scaling investments, trade, and technology linkages aligned with shared growth priorities.<\/p>\n

Saudi coordination on supply chains: <\/strong>Indian Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal and his Saudi counterpart Majid bin Abdullah Al Qasabi agreed to step up coordination to stabilize supply chains and accelerate trade talks in a call on Saturday, as per a press release<\/a>. The two ministers discussed the strain on regional logistics and agreed to coordinate measures to restore smooth trade flows. <\/p>\n

Qatar anchors energy security: <\/strong>Indian Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh was in Doha on Saturday to discuss securing reliable supplies and expanding cooperation across the energy value chain with Qatar\u2019s Energy Affairs State Minister and QatarEnergy CEO Saad Al Kaabi, according to a press release<\/a>. QatarEnergy reaffirmed its role as a dependable supplier to India, while the ministers welcomed the ceasefire and stressed the need to stabilize the energy market. <\/p>\n

Our take: <\/strong>India\u2019s diplomatic push coincided with the high-stakes US-Iran talks in Islamabad. New Delhi is signaling that it is joining forces with Gulf capitals to ensure that any potential settlement regarding the Strait of Hormuz protects India\u2019s access to the waterway and prevents long-term disruption to its energy supply and trade corridors \u2014 critical factors for India given its reliance on imports. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
