Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United Arab Emirates on May 15 aims to strengthen India's energy security amid rising tensions in West Asia. Modi's discussions with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan will focus on securing long-term supplies of crude oil, liquefied natural gas (LNG), and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). The talks will also explore alternative export routes that avoid the strategically critical Strait of Hormuz. A significant topic will be enhancing cooperation around the Fujairah Petroleum Industries Zone, which offers a safer route for oil shipments. This comes in light of recent attacks on Fujairah's oil infrastructure by Iran-backed forces, which Modi condemned, emphasizing the need for safe navigation in the region. The UAE currently supplies nearly 40% of India's LPG needs and is a major supplier of crude oil and LNG. Additionally, discussions will cover trade, investment opportunities, and the welfare of approximately 4.5 million Indians living in the UAE.
