The Indian community is planning a grand reception for Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is set to visit the UAE later this month in the first trip by an Indian premier to the country in 34 years.


According to a statement released here, the Indian Community Welfare Community (ICWC) is organising a public reception at the Dubai Cricket Stadium.

"An organising committee has been formed to make this a grand success. Transport arrangements are being made to make this a grand success," ICWC said in the statement.

A website and a Facebook page have also been set up to facilitate people's visit to the site of the reception.

According to sources here, an official announcement confirming the visit's details is expected within days from New Delhi. PM Modi will kick off his visit in Abu Dhabi and address the Indian community the next day in Dubai.
