India PM Modi set to visit UAE on Saturday

DUBAI: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to arrive in Abu Dhabi on Saturday for his second state visit to the UAE in two years.

The visit comes as both countries are expected to sign agreements covering strategic partnership in areas including space technology, finance, defense and investments.

Modi is also set to give a keynote speech at Dubai’s World Government Summit on Sunday, as well as meet with top UAE officials.

Modi’s UAE trip comes after his historic first visit by an Indian PM to Palestine as part of a four-nation tour that also covered Jordan and Oman.
