Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in the UAE on Friday. The UAE F16 jets escorted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plane as it entered the UAE airspace. On arrival, he was accorded a guard of honour as he landed in Abu Dhabi. The Prime Minister also met UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The two leaders exchanged views on bilateral issues, in particular energy cooperation, as well as regional and international issues of mutual interest.
PM Modi began his five-nation tour today, which includes visits to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Italy. The week-long diplomatic outreach is aimed at strengthening India’s partnerships in areas such as trade, technology, energy security, innovation and green growth, while further enhancing New Delhi’s engagement with Europe and the Gulf region.
Ahead of the visit, the Federation of Indian Export Organisations described the tour as happening at a “crucial juncture” and said it is likely to inject new momentum into India’s trade and investment ties with both regions. The body added that the high-level interactions are expected to create fresh opportunities for Indian exporters in engineering, clean energy, technology, pharmaceuticals, textiles, logistics and digital trade.
