The United Arab Emirates will host the I2U2's first vice-ministerial meeting in Abu Dhabi this week. Senior officials from India, Israel, the United States and the United Arab Emirates will attend.

According to an official statement, Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jose W Fernandez will lead the US delegation at the meeting in Abu Dhabi from 21 to 22 February.

It is the first vice-ministerial meeting since the grouping was announced jointly by President Joe Biden, Israeli Prime Minister Lapid, UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the statement.

“During the forum, partner countries will discuss opportunities to advance regional cooperation and investment opportunities to build partnerships that address some of the region's most pressing issues, such as energy crisis management and food insecurity,” according to the State Department.

According to the statement, Fernandez will also meet with senior UAE officials to discuss bilateral climate and clean energy cooperation, food security, and other shared economic priorities as the UAE prepares to host COP28 in November 2023.
