Why the UAE, other Arab countries are drifting towards India
India and the UAE have forged strong strategic ties within less than a decade.
The Gulf region is in a flux – not only politically since the advent of the so-called Arab Spring of 2011, but also strategically ever since the early 2000s. This is prompting many of them, especially the moderate Islamic states like the UAE to reach out strategically to medium and regional powers like India.
