Dubai, Feb 14 : Sheathed in the hues of the Indian Tricolour, Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa was lit up with the words ‘Guest of Honour – Republic of India’ ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's keynote address at the 2024 World Governments Summit scheduled to take place in the emirate on Wednesday.

Modi is on a two-day visit to the UAE, his seventh in ten years, to deepen bilateral relations and inaugurate the BAPS Mandir, the first Hindu temple in Abu Dhabi.  Taking to his X on Wednesday, the Prime Minister said that in his address he will strengthen conversations around building a better planet.  "It is an honour to be speaking at the @WorldGovSummit later today. I shall be elaborating on a wide range of subjects, which will strengthen the conversations around building a better planet," he said. 

Extending a "warm welcome" to Modi, Dubai's Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum shared on X two images of the Burj Khalifa, lit up with colours of the Indian flag and logo of the World Governments Summit.  He said that the strong ties between the two nations serve as a model for international cooperation and that it is a "pleasure to have India as a distinguished guest" at the event. 

"The @WorldGovSummit has evolved into one of the world’s leading platforms for sharing governance best practices, success stories and initiatives, and envisioning the future of government," he wrote in a post on X.
