Islamabad: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s May 15, 2026 visit to United Arab Emirates (UAE) focuses on energy security and strategic ties, but raises concerns over India leveraging Gulf partnerships, impacting regional balance and Muslim unity.
According to Global Mirror, India’s expanding engagement with the UAE reflects a calculated attempt to leverage Gulf politics against Pakistan, but this strategy risks deepening regional instability rather than creating balance.
Under the guise of energy security and economic cooperation, New Delhi is embedding itself in West Asia’s fragile geopolitical landscape, including controversial alignments with Israel that have already drawn criticism for eroding Muslim unity and weakening OIC cohesion.
