Standard New Year protocol, but important to maintain good relations. Hope our PM also received the greetings. The UAE-India relationship has grown so much in recent years.
My brother works in Dubai. The UAE leadership has always been welcoming to Indian professionals. These small courtesies matter in international relations. Good to see.
Respectfully, while the gesture is polite, I wish such energy was also focused on pressing global issues. Still, a peaceful new year to all nations.
The UAE is a model of development in the region. Their leadership's outreach is part of their soft power strategy. India can learn a thing or two about proactive diplomacy.
Short and sweet news. Hope the greetings translate into continued strong ties and more opportunities for Indians abroad. The remittances from the Gulf are vital for many families back home.
