Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, 1 March 2026, spoke by phone with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), strongly condemning recent attacks on the Gulf nation and expressing India’s solidarity with its close partner.
In the conversation, Modi conveyed his deep condolences for the loss of lives and emphasised India’s support for de-escalation, regional peace, security and stability, according to an official statement posted on social media. He thanked the UAE leadership for continuing to ensure the safety and well-being of the large Indian expatriate community residing in the country.
The call comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, where multiple missile and drone attacks have targeted Gulf states, including the UAE, following recent military actions in the region. India’s expression of support reflects its longstanding strategic and economic ties with the UAE and its interest in promoting stability across West Asia.
Officials noted that India continues to monitor developments closely while urging all parties involved to pursue dialogue and diplomacy
