In one of his toughest statements amidst the war in West Asia, Prime Minister Narendra Modi “strongly condemned” the drone and missile attacks by Iran on oil installations in Fujairah where three Indians were injured, and affirmed “solidarity” with the UAE.
Mr. Modi’s words, issued in a social media post, come days ahead of his visit to Abu Dhabi, where he is expected to strengthen ties with the UAE in talks with President Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
