UAE’s Deputy Prime Minister, Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, shared this video on social media, effectively endorsing India’s territorial claims.

While the original intent of the video was to spotlight economic corridor projects connecting India with the Middle East and Europe, it unintentionally highlighted a shift in the UAE’s diplomatic stance regarding the Kashmir issue.
This development suggests a warming relationship between India and the UAE, underscoring a growing divergence between Pakistan and Middle Eastern nations like the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
