Dubai's Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum extended a warm welcome to PM Modi, highlighting the exemplary ties between India and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as a model for international cooperation.

PM Modi, invited by UAE Vice President Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, will participate in the World Government Summit 2024 as a Guest of Honor and deliver a keynote address.
