In a remarkable show of anticipation, more than 20,000 individuals have eagerly registered to attend the community reception where Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address the expat community in Abu Dhabi next month. The event, aptly named ‘Ahlan Modi,’ is planned at the Zayed Sports City Stadium in the capital on February 13.
The organizing committee spearheading this grand affair has expressed excitement over the overwhelming response. Registration, facilitated through the official website https://ahlanmodi.ae/, has witnessed an unprecedented surge, making this community reception an extraordinary occasion.
A prominent organizing committee member emphasized the significance of this event, stating, “It has been planned as the largest community reception for PM Modi.” The initial announcement was made during a special gathering at the India Club in Dubai last week, where more than 350 Indian community leaders from diverse regions and communities convened for a pre-event briefing.
“There is great enthusiasm,” the member noted, highlighting the unity and eagerness of the Indian diaspora to be part of this historic gathering. The organizers are optimistic about filling the stadium to its maximum capacity, with various volunteer committees diligently working on the meticulous planning and execution of the event.
This event holds particular importance, marking Modi’s seventh visit to the UAE. The grand community gathering is scheduled a day before the Indian Prime Minister inaugurates the region’s first traditional Hindu stone temple in Abu Dhabi. The highly anticipated opening of the iconic BAPS Hindu Mandir will be celebrated with a unique ‘Festival of Harmony’ on February 14.
As the excitement continues, this reception serves as a platform for the expat community to connect with their homeland. It strengthens the diplomatic ties between India and the UAE. The organizers, community leaders, and volunteers are leaving no stone unturned to ensure the success of ‘Ahlan Modi,’ making it a memorable and historic event.
In conclusion, the resounding enthusiasm displayed by the expat community and the meticulous planning by the organizers signify the significance of ‘Ahlan Modi’ as more than just a reception—a celebration of unity, cultural heritage, and diplomatic ties that bind nations together.
