== Security Relations ==
Defense cooperation between India and the UAE has seen growth since 2003 when the Chief of Staff of the UAE armed forces visited India. The subsequent exchanges resulted in the initiation of the Desert Eagle bilateral exercises involving the Indian Air Force (IAF) and the UAE Air Force (UAE-AF). These exercises have contributed to enhancing the security preparedness and coordination between India and the UAE. Additionally, the inaugural joint naval exercise, Gulf Star-1, held in 2018, established a foundation for maritime security cooperation between the two nations.
Since 2014, India has worked with UAE on various counter-terrorism issues.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mei.edu/publications/india-gulf-counterterrorism-cooperation|title=India Gulf Counter-Terrorism Cooperation|last=Siyech|first=Mohammed Sinan|date=December 21, 2017|website=Middle East Institute}}</ref> On 4 March 2018, the [[Indian Coast Guard]] and Emirati special forces collaborated in a successful operation, requested by Emirati Prime Minister Sheikh [[Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum]], and approved by Indian Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]], to intercept a yacht carrying [[Latifa bint Mohammed Al Maktoum]].<ref>{{cite news|date=28 April 2018|title=India's Modi authorized capture of runaway Dubai princess, newspaper claims|newspaper=[[Washington Post]]|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2018/04/28/indias-modi-authorized-capture-of-runaway-dubai-princess-newspaper-claims/?noredirect=on}}</ref> In December 2020, Indian authorities in coordination with UAE had foiled a Pakistani [[Inter Services Intelligence|ISI]] backed-terrorist attack in Delhi.
