Dubai Customs has deepened its trade cooperation with India following a high-level meeting aimed at accelerating regional logistics and developing the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEEC).
Led by Arti Agarwal Srinivas, Director General at India’s Directorate General of Systems and Data Management, the Indian delegation met with Dubai Customs officials, including Director General Dr. Abdulla Busenad, to discuss advancing customs facilitation, digital data exchange, and supply chain efficiency. Representatives from DP World also joined the discussions.
The talks focused on strengthening inter-MENA trade, streamlining clearance procedures, and expanding logistics services to boost the flow of goods between the two countries. Dubai highlighted its commitment to becoming a global trade and logistics hub as part of the Dubai Economic Agenda.
A key initiative presented was the MAITRI platform, a single digital interface designed to integrate customs and port systems between the UAE and India. The platform aims to cut delays and costs, enhance data sharing, and unlock new logistics opportunities.
Both sides reaffirmed their strategic partnership, with India recognizing Dubai’s vital role as a trade gateway connecting Asia with the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
