Will India play mediator as UAE ruler MMZ's wants support over control in Yemen SOCOTRA island?

A recent high-profile, short visit by UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) to India on January 19, 2026 was a brief working visit where the delegation met PM Modi pushing for a India–UAE Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. The two leaders also discussed Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives (MBRGI), a major UAE-based humanitarian and developmental foundation launched in 2015 under Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Vice President/Prime Minister of UAE and Ruler of Dubai). The visit occurred amid West Asia volatility (e.g., UAE-Saudi tensions over Yemen/Socotra, Iran-related issues, evolving Gulf alliances). In this program we discuss India’s role as a strengthening neutral partner for the UAE in defence, tech, and energy diversification. It built on prior momentum, like renewable energy talks at IRENA and Antarctic cooperation.
