Modi to Discuss Energy and Oil Reserves During UAE Visit

India Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit the United Arab Emirates to secure long-term energy supplies and expand strategic oil reserves. The trip follows supply disruptions caused by the war between the United States-Israel alliance and Iran. India, the world's third-largest energy importer, seeks stability as UAE production rises after its recent OPEC exit.

Modi is likely to seek help with long-term supplies of cooking gas and crude oil, three Indian sources said. This visit marks the first stop on a five-nation tour including the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, and Italy.
