Summary/Abstract

One of the gravest concerns that mankind is facing today is hunger. There are more than 900 million people who go hungry daily around the world and an estimated 25000 people die a day due to hunger and its related causes. Hunger is due to the unavailability of adequate food in sufficient quantities at an affordable price to lead an active and healthy life. Today there is enough food production to feed the global population yet there is a failure in the distribution. Most of the hungry people reside in the developing and the underdeveloped nations.

Narendra Modi and the making of the India-UAE strategic partnership / Luke, Ashok Alex

Luke, Ashok Alex	Article
	0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)

Summary/Abstract

The foundation for India’s robust west Asian engagements in recent times was shaped by Modi’s predecessor, Dr Manmohan Singh who invited the former Saudi king to India in 2006 and in turn visited the kingdom in 2010 which further lead to the strengthening of ties between India and the region. Today the GCC reaches out to India with great significance, and it is here where India’s “look west” policy converges with GCC’s “look east” policy whereby the energy-rich gulf nations explore the Asian markets for their future prospects. Not only does India have the potential to contribute to UAE’s ‘Vision 2021’, but also the two nations can jointly work towards the vision of a 21st Century Asia. Though Benjamin Netanyahu happened to be the first leader from the region whom Mr Modi met, he had chosen carefully to visit an Arab nation first before he visited Israel, at the same time it is clear that India cannot afford to have a zero sum game in the region between the Arabs and Israel just as the big powers have. UAE as a moderate Islamic nation promotes and accepts peaceful coexistence and social harmony serving as an example of multicultural society.
