New Delhi, July 1 -- Union steel minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on Tuesday met UAE economy minister Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri in Dubai to discuss trade expansion, resource security, and collaborative innovation in steel and aluminium.

The two met at a time when India's leading public sector utilities are eyeing business opportunities in West Asia, particularly the UAE.
