Abu Dhabi: Although Pakistan continues to prey upon India over the decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, the UAE will honour Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the highest civilian award of the Islamic country on Friday.
Modi will be acclaimed with the “Order of Zayed”, the highest civilian decoration conferred by the UAE government.
The award also has a special significance. The award, which is named after Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founding father of the UAE, is being awarded to Modi in the birth centenary year of Sheikh Zayed.
A day after India scrapped the Article, Abu Dhabi termed New Delhi’s action its internal matter, saying it aimed at “reducing regional disparity and improving efficiency”.
After reaching Abu Dhabi, Modi tweeted on Twitter on Friday,” Reached Abu Dhabi. Looking forward to holding talks with His Highness Crown Prince @MohamedBinZayed and discussing the full range of friendship between India and UAE. Deepening economic relations will also be on the agenda during this visit.”
