Dubai is set to host a grand Diwali celebration on November 16 at Zabeel Park, organized by 'Emirates Love India,' with backing from the UAE Government Media Office and Dubai Police. This event is expected to attract 40,000 attendees, highlighting the rich diversity of Indian culture through cultural, artistic, musical, and folkloric activities. It also aims to celebrate the contributions of the Indian community to the UAE's sustainable development. The event underscores the strong historical ties between the UAE and India, emphasizing their enduring collaboration dating back to the cultural agreement initiated in 1975. Recent developments, like the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, aim to bolster non-oil trade between the two countries to $100 billion by 2030. The large Indian expatriate community in the UAE plays a significant role in enhancing economic, social, and cultural connections. The Diwali celebration also reflects the UAE's commitment to fostering a multicultural society and promoting tolerance and coexistence.
