H.E. Al Owais apprised the Minister about UAE’s close relations with India and in particular with the state of Kerala. The Ambassador raised two important issues with the Chief Minister seeking his support for furthering the UAE-Kerala relations. He sought Chief Minister’s support in resolving the DP Port’s issue in the new ICTT terminal in Vallarpadam. He also sought the Chief Minister’s support for Fly Dubai to start operations from Kerala at the earliest. The Chief Minister assured his government’s full support on both the issues.
