On his two-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the prime minister is also set to inaugurate the BAPS Mandir in Abu Dhabi on February 14, which is the first Hindu temple in the Emirates and has stunning architecture.
Dubai's Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, in a post on X, said, "We extend a warm welcome to the Republic of India, the guest of honour at this year’s World Governments Summit, and to His Excellency Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India. The strong ties between our nations serve as a model for international co-operation."
"The @WorldGovSummit has evolved into one of the world’s leading platforms for sharing governance best practices, success stories and initiatives, and envisioning the future of government. It is a pleasure to have India as a distinguished guest at this international event, where it will showcase its innovations, initiatives and projects across diverse sectors that are a model for accelerating development for government service delivery," stated the Crown Prince, in his post.
He further shared an image of the Burj Khalifa with the Indian flag emblazoned on it.
