In February, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India-UAE ties go beyond trade and both countries will work together to fulfill the dreams of the Indian diaspora in the Gulf country. “I assure you that we will work together to bring to reality the dreams you see, here and in India,” PM said. He was addressing hundreds of Indians working in the UAE who had gathered at the iconic Dubai Opera House to listen to him.

“Our relation with the UAE is not just that of a buyer and a seller. It has become much more,” Mr Modi said in his speech in Hindi. He thanked the Gulf countries—a home to nearly 3.3 million strong Indian diaspora—for providing them “a home away from home.”
