United Arab Emirates (UAE)’s F16 jets escorted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s aircraft as it entered UAE airspace as part of his five-nation tour from May 15-20.
PM Modi landed in Abu Dhabi, UAE, on the first leg of his five-nation visit. Here, the PM will meet UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The two leaders will exchange views on bilateral issues, in particular energy cooperation, as well as regional and international issues of mutual interest.
Following his arrival, PM Modi was accorded a guard of honour in Abu Dhabi.
The UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation, Reem Al Hashimy, hailed the Prime Minister as a “true treasure” for the leadership and people of the Emirates, stating that the bilateral relationship is poised to scale “new mountaintops” in trade and technology.
