United Arab Emirates Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan is arriving here Monday on a two-day official visit as the country looks forward to further strengthening bilateral relationship with India.

Sheikh Abdullah, who is accompanied by a senior-level delegation, will hold talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.

''The visit will be part of regular consultations between the two countries on bilateral as well as global issues of mutual interest,'' a statement by the External Affairs Minister said.
