UAE Indians are the largest NRI community in world
Until recently, Indians in the UAE were estimated at 2.8 million.
Indian expatriates in the UAE have attained the distinction of being the largest community of Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in the world, a top diplomat said on Wednesday.
“On the occasion of India’s 69th Republic Day [on Friday], I want to say that what a privilege to be India’s representative with such a dynamic and diverse Indian community of 3.3 million,” Navdeep Singh Suri, Indian Ambassador to the UAE, told Gulf News in an interview on Wednesday.
