UAE President arrives today, to hold bilateral talks with PM Modi
UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan arrived in India today, January 19, 2026, for a day-long working visit. He is scheduled to hold bilateral talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to strengthen strategic, economic, and cultural ties between the two nations.
This marks his third official trip to India as UAE President and fifth overall in the past decade. Discussions will cover regional and global issues amid strong momentum from prior high-level exchanges.
The leaders aim to deepen the India-UAE Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, building on a 2022 economic agreement that boosted trade and people-to-people links. Recent UAE visits by royals in 2024 and 2025 set the stage for enhanced cooperation.
Talks occur against UAE-Saudi tensions in Yemen and optimism around US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace initiatives, where India and UAE align on stability efforts.
