Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to make a brief stopover in the United Arab Emirates in May while on a four-nation tour of Europe. This visit, expected to last around three to four hours, comes at a pivotal moment as the UAE prepares to exit the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) on May 1. The significance of this stopover is heightened due to recent diplomatic engagements, including a visit from UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan to India in January and trips by India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in April. During the visit, discussions may cover various topics such as energy cooperation, regional security, investment flows, and advancements under the India-UAE free trade agreement. The UAE's exit from OPEC could present new opportunities for India in terms of crude pricing and supply arrangements, as New Delhi seeks to diversify its energy sources amid global uncertainties.
