Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, inaugurated the India-Spora forum for 2025, held in Abu Dhabi, with the presence of Sujay Sundar, Indian Ambassador to the UAE, and a gathering of leaders and decision-makers from around the world. The forum aims to discuss innovative solutions to global challenges, promote international cooperation in sustainable development and social innovation, and reflect the Indian global community's commitment to playing a significant role in shaping a brighter and more sustainable future. Sheikh Nahyan praised the participants in his speech, highlighting the vital role the Indian community plays in supporting local economies and communities in the UAE and abroad. He emphasized the importance of the forum in strengthening relations between India and the UAE, as this summit represents a global platform for discussing pressing issues, such as artificial intelligence, climate resilience, global infrastructure, and promoting partnerships between charitable organizations and social entrepreneurship. He said, "This summit represents a significant event due to its focus on generating ideas and sharing knowledge on the major issues facing the world, and you, as participants, embody a strong conviction that our shared values and ideas can unite us and help us effectively address the challenges we face. You demonstrate how dialogue and cooperation within a global community can lead to the development of new ideas and initiatives that benefit everyone." He added, "The forum's convening in Abu Dhabi reinforces the historic friendship between the Indian and Emirati peoples, and your presence here is a testament to the special relationship between our countries. We have a long history of friendship and cooperation, and we share common interests and values. Our unique friendship will continue to flourish due to its many facets." He also said, "I look forward to continuing our work together to promote mutual understanding, cooperation, and joint projects between our countries." He emphasized that the summit is a global gathering that brings together people with different ideas and perspectives to discuss global issues, including business, technology, health, identity, ethics, spirituality, culture, environment, security, education, and leadership in shaping future directions - all of which are issues that arise from the global reality of the 21st century. He added, "We are fortunate that we do not need to resolve these global issues within the three days of the summit, but when the summit ends, you will leave with new and powerful ideas, and you will have new relationships and partnerships with other participants. You will meet people who hold different ideas from yours, and you will discuss common concerns. You will have opportunities for communication and participation in cooperative initiatives. The knowledge you gain from this summit will help shape your views on global issues, which will have a positive impact on your professional and personal lives."
