Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed has offered an inside glimpse at Narendra Modi's two-day visit to the UAE.
The Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces posted a two-minute video on his Instagram page showing the Indian prime minister's arrival at the Presidential Palace and the official welcome he was given.
Mr Modi can be seen meeting dignitaries and is then filmed receiving the Order of Zayed — the highest civilian honour in the UAE.
Earlier, he arrived at the Emirates Palace during the short state visit and became the first person to use Indian payment platform RuPay in the UAE.
He used a card to purchase a box of sweets at a stall in the luxury hotel.
The new card will work at 100,000 terminals in the UAE, Navdeep Suri, Indian ambassador to the UAE, said.
