# The UAE and India sign a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement

Date: 2022

## The fact

On 18 February 2022 the UAE and India signed a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement. [Mohamed bin Zayed](/people/mohamed-bin-zayed-al-nahyan) was the UAE principal.

## Context

Modi’s government signed for India. UAE trade and economy ministries implemented. He did not write an Indian tariff schedule. Later I2U2 is neighbouring.

I2U2 July 2022 is a later four-party file.

The president of the United Arab Emirates is elected by the Federal Supreme Council of the seven emirates and is, in this case, also Ruler of Abu Dhabi and supreme commander of the armed forces. He does not write UNFCCC consensus texts by himself, IAEA operating licences, Israeli Knesset statutes, or UN panel reports.

## Evidence and sources

UAE Ministry of Economy carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [industrial-policy activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism) and labour-adjacent mobility: a completed CEPA is a market-access instrument for goods, services and later labour corridors.

## What is established and what is not

Established: an 18 February 2022 India–UAE CEPA signature, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later job-creation coefficient from the signing table.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

[Modi](/people/narendra-modi)’s government signed. Ministries implement tariffs.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies The UAE and India sign a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement, not a later speech about The UAE and India sign a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. The UAE and India sign a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement on 2022-02-18 is not a licence to treat every later UAE Ministry of Economy communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average The UAE and India sign a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He was the UAE principal. Modi’s government signed. Ministries implement tariffs. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
