The United Diplomatic Council (UDC) successfully concluded its 6th global discussion in Abu Dhabi, marking another milestone in its growing series of international dialogues dedicated to strengthening global partnerships and promoting purposeful diplomatic engagement.

This high-level gathering brought together Ambassadors, diplomats, policymakers, and business leaders for a dynamic exchange centred on Energy Diplomacy and Climate Diplomacy — two critical pillars driving today’s global sustainability agenda and economic transformation.

Building upon earlier deliberations held in Brussels, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and two previous editions in Abu Dhabi, the UDC continues to position itself as a global platform where diplomacy meets enterprise, and conversations translate into actionable partnerships for shared progress.

A highlight of the session was the address by His Excellency T.P. Seetharam IFS, Former Ambassador of India to the UAE, who reflected on the energy initiatives undertaken during his tenure and their long-term outcomes. He shared how those early collaborations in renewable energy and hydrocarbons paved the way for the enduring strength of the India–UAE partnership in energy and sustainability. His insights demonstrated how proactive diplomatic engagement can create a legacy of cooperation that continues to shape economic relations years later.
