President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan tweeted in Hindi language to welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on an official visit to the UAE.
Sharing some photos with Modi from the reception, Sheikh Mohamed also tweeted the same tweet in Arabic and English languages.
Sheikh Mohamed's tweet says, "I had the pleasure of welcoming Indian Prime Minister @narendramodi to Abu Dhabi today. We discussed the ongoing progress of our bilateral ties, our shared interest in promoting sustainable global growth, and ways to further boost collaboration between our countries and our people."
Modi landed in Abu Dhabi earlier on Saturday for a one-day visit and met Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed.
Upon arrival at Qasr Al Watan in Abu Dhabi, Modi’s motorcade was met by a group of Emirati children waving the flags of both countries. Sheikh Mohamed greeted Modi and accompanied him during an official reception ceremony that included a guard of honour welcome, a 21-gun salute, and a performance of the national anthems of India and the UAE.
During the meeting, India has signed an agreement with the UAE that will allow it to trade in local currencies.
The two countries also agreed to set up a real-time payment link to facilitate easier cross-border money transfers.
