In the first week of January, the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir inked six agreements with global investors at Dubai Expo 2020 to bring in investments various sectors especially in the real estate, infrastructure, tourism, and healthcare.

J&K had signed MoUs with Al Maya Group, MATU Investments LLC, GL Employment Brokerage LLC, Century Financial and Noon E-commerce, and a LoI (letter of intent) between Magna Waves Pvt. Ltd along with Emaar Group and Lulu International.

India and United Arab Emirates (UAE) enjoy strong bonds of friendship and historical ties which has been further strengthened by the strenuous efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the years.

In his address at the Dubai Investors Summit, Sinha had said, “We are offering you a stake in the present and future of rich civilization, the land of curiosity for intellectuals, travellers, traders and historians.”

“There is an advantage of first-mover because Jammu and Kashmir is an unsaturated market and one can build a brand new business network and tap rapidly growing opportunities in the Union Territory. I assure you, the government will be a facilitator, partner, provider, collaborator and promoter at every step to ensure a sustainable, balanced, progressive and competitive business environment for traditional core sectors and new-age technology driven sectors,” he had said.
