Zahid Shahab Ahmed, University of New England (Australia) and Stuti Bhatnagar, Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi, India) to security and defence and for annual meetings of 'Strategic Dialogue'. India has been training UAE defence personnel in various disciplines at its specialized institutions. The two countries resolved to examine the possibility of import and export of arms, interact on various aspects of defence policy and security and exchange information on scientific research, humanitarian and peacekeeping operations. 1 The subsequent meeting of the Joint Defence Cooperation Committee was held in April 2006 in New Delhi. Interaction between the Coast Guards of both the countries has enabled identifying possibilities of cooperation in this area as well. UAE defence personnel have also been undergoing defence training in India under Self Financing Schemes. Considered the closest to India among the GCC countries, Oman is being offered training cooperation of its officers and men in Indian military training institutions. In December 2006, An MoU on Defence Cooperation was signed between India and Oman. The areas of cooperation envisaged in the MoU include exchange of expertise in military training and information technology, utilization of military and educational courses and programs, exchange of observers attending military exercises and exchange of formal visits. The MoU is expected to further enhance constructive interaction between the two countries and facilitate strengthening bilateral defence relations, including the supply of Indian equipment to Oman. 2 In November 2008, India and Oman agreed to step up defence cooperation by upgrading their joint naval exercises. The issue of stepping up defence cooperation was discussed 1 “India, UAE Ink accord on defence tie-up”, The Hindu, July 2, 2003 http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/2003/07/02/stories/2003070204211 200.htm 2 “India, Oman sign MoU on Defence Cooperation”, Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) New Delhi, December 2006. http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/library/news/india/2005/india- 051207-irna02.htm 269
Gulf States and the Conflict between India and Pakistan during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s three-day visit to the Gulf countries. 1 Singh’s visit also led to a defence agreement with Qatar which includes the possibilities of stationing Indian troops in the Arab country, sources in the Indian Defence Ministry said. The two countries have also joined in a maritime security arrangement, which will be extended to other countries. Earlier in June 2007, the two countries had agreed to jointly produce weapons and equipment. Indian Defence Ministry sources said Qatar is keen to collaborate with Indian private and state-owned defence companies, which in turn have entered into some sort of a tie-up with American companies for weapon and equipment production. 2 India is also keen to establish defence ties with other Gulf States and is in dialogue with some of them towards this end. Indian Expatriate Community in the Gulf Perhaps the most significant element of India’s relationship with the Gulf States is the presence of a sizeable expatriate population in these states. The expats in the Gulf contribute considerably to the bilateral relations between India and the Gulf.
