Earlier in the day, the delegation held a meeting with Nikolay Mladenov, Director General of Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy of the UAE, discussing enhancing cooperation between India and the UAE in fighting terrorism as well as radicalisation under the global outreach campaign of Operation Sindoor. 'The All-party delegation led by Shrikant Eknath Shinde met Nikolay Mladenov, Director General of Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy. They exchanged views on furthering cooperation between India-UAE in counter-terrorism and combating radicalism,' the Indian Embassy in UAE posted on X. The delegation on Thursday interacted with the members of the Indian Community in Abu Dhabi, conveying India's national consensus and collective resolve against terrorism. It also held productive discussions with Jamal Mohammed Obaid Al Kaabi, Director General, National Media Office of UAE about the role of media to counter terrorism and extremism. The UAE has assured India that both countries will tackle terrorism together as the strong bilateral relationship extends beyond trade and culture, also encompassing security and strategic issues. UAE's Minister of Tolerance and Co-Existence Sheikh Nahyan Mabarak Al Nahyan, Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi - Chairman of the Defence, Interior and Foreign Affairs Committee of Federal National Council - besides several other senior Emirati parliamentarians expressed full solidarity with India as the high-level all-party delegation from India called on them in Abu Dhabi. As the delegation highlighted the perpetration of cross-border terrorism and efforts to cause social disharmony in India by Pakistan, Nahyan Mabarak Al Nahyan conveyed his deep condolences on the April 22 Pahalgam terrorist attacks and said, "India and UAE will tackle terrorism together. The UAE will always stand by India." The delegation then held substantive discussions with Ali Rashid Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Defence, Interior and Foreign Affairs Committee of Federal National Council, underscoring the precise, measured, and non-escalatory nature of Operation Sindoor against the barbaric terrorist attack on the tourists in Kashmir on April 22. According to the Embassy of India in Abu Dhabi, during the meeting, Nuaimi stressed, 'India-UAE relationship is beyond trade and culture, and encompasses security and strategic issues. Terrorism is against the whole of humanity and the international community must act now.' The delegation led by Shinde includes BJP MPs Bansuri Swaraj, Atul Garg, and Manan Kumar Mishra, BJD's Sasmit Patra, IUML MP E.T. Mohammed Basheer, BJP leader S.S. Ahluwalia, and former Ambassador Sujan Chinoy. Their ongoing visit marked the beginning of India's unprecedented diplomatic campaign to expose Pakistan's sustained role in cross-border terrorism, including the heinous April 22 Pahalgam attack.

He said that India is showcasing the truth and '...we are going to speak it face to face across the table... within the last 30 days, so much has happened. I'm pretty sure in the next 300 days, more things will happen. I can assure you of that.'

In strategic partnership with the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy Rabdan Academy Unveils ‘Resilience & Diplomacy Forum' to Empower Graduates in Crisis Management and Strategic Decision-Making
A strategic platform uniting top graduates and prominent leaders to shape the future of security and diplomacy amidst accelerating global challenges. Strengthening the UAE's global standing and advancing its vision for a forward-looking, resilient diplomatic model. Featuring a distinguished gathering of thought leaders and influential figures to redefine the art of crisis management. Abu Dhabi – UAE – May 2025: Rabdan Academy, in strategic partnership with the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, has launched the 'Resilience & Diplomacy Forum: Leaders & Alumni Dialogue' at its campus in Abu Dhabi. This forward-thinking intellectual forum brings together distinguished graduates from both academies for insightful and dynamic discussions with influential leaders across sectors. The initiative aims to foster a new generation of leaders with a strategic mindset, merging security resilience with diplomatic acumen, in line with the UAE's vision of building robust national capabilities in both fields. Deigned as a platform for cross-sectoral and cross-border exchange, the forum brings together select thought leaders and senior figures to redefine the principles of crisis management. It also aspires to establish a global network of graduates who contribute beyond their institutions. The forum further seeks to inspire innovation in both security and diplomatic practice, advancing the UAE's soft power on the international stage. Reflecting Strategic Vision: H.E. James Morse, President of Rabdan Academy, stated: 'This forum represents a strategic initiative that aligns with the UAE's vision to develop future leaders equipped with advanced security capabilities and high-level crisis management skills in a complex and rapidly transforming world. Our goal is to position the UAE as a global hub for innovation and solution development in security and diplomacy. This effort reflects the wise leadership's strategic vision of empowering national talent to anticipate the future and transform challenges into opportunities that elevate the UAE's global stature.' H.E. Nikolay Mladenov, Director-General of the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy, commented: 'This collaboration exemplifies the UAE's integrated approach to strengthening soft power and enhancing strategic resilience. Modern diplomacy necessitates a solid grasp of security dynamics, which benefits from diplomatic insight. Through this forum, we aim to provide our graduates with a platform to sharpen their skills and contribute meaningfully to shaping an advanced diplomatic model that anticipates future challenges and addresses global issues with efficiency and professionalism.' Addressing Global Security Challenges: The forum's opening session was led by Staff Major General Khalifa Hareb Al Khaili, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior, under the theme ' International Cooperation in Addressing Security Challenges'. In his address, he emphasized the vital role of international collaboration in facing current and emerging threats, calling for a proactive and unified approach to global security. The Forum's overarching objective is to enhance graduates' ability to make informed strategic decisions and develop innovative, unconventional responses to the evolving landscape of security and diplomacy. It goes beyond theoretical discourse, functioning as a dynamic lab for future foresight; where resilience, negotiation, power, wisdom, strategy, and strategy converge. By transforming crisis management from a reactive process into a proactive discipline, the forum underscores the importance of designing strategic solutions rather than simply responding to emergencies. It provides graduates with direct access to leading experts, offering practical insights into addressing contemporary diplomatic and security challenges. This initiative is rooted in the belief that leadership is not defined solely by position or authority; but by vision, impact, and the capacity to shape the future. About Rabdan Academy: Rabdan Academy is a government-owned world-class education institution established to coordinate and enhance learning outcomes for organisations and individuals in the Safety, Security, Defence, Emergency Preparedness and Crisis Management (SSDEC) Sectors.
