An MoU between India Post and the Emirates Post was signed earlier on February 18, 2022, to Jointly Launch the India-UAE Commemorative Stamp, as per the Indian Embassy in the UAE.
This announcement came after the visit of the President of the UAE, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to India on January 19, 2026. At the invitation of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Nahyan paid an official visit to India. This was the fifth visit of Nahyan to India in the last ten years and his third official visit to India as the President of the UAE.
