Prime Minister Narendra Modi received a special welcome in Abu Dhabi on Friday as UAE Air Force F-16 fighter jets escorted his aircraft while entering the country’s airspace during the first leg of his five-nation tour. Modi’s visit comes amid rising global energy concerns linked to tensions in the Middle East. During the one-day UAE visit, Modi is expected to hold talks with UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on energy security, trade, investment and regional issues. His tour will also cover the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway and Italy as India looks to deepen strategic and economic ties with key partners.
