This stunning display on Wednesday evening turned the world’s tallest building into a glowing tribute, dazzling the Dubai skyline with PM Modi’s portraits and warm birthday messages.
Goyal, who thanked his UAE counterpart for the gesture, told that it perfectly captures the rock-solid diplomatic relations between India and the UAE. "The video was beautiful," he shared. "When I posted it on social media, over 2 million people watched it. This really shows how much Prime Minister Narendra Modi is loved in the UAE and the respect they have for him."
The event highlights the deepening bond between the two nations, built on mutual respect and teamwork in areas like trade and culture. UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan joined the celebrations with a heartfelt message on X (formerly Twitter). "Sincere congratulations to Narendra Modi on your birthday," he wrote. "I wish you continued good health and happiness, and ongoing success in advancing India’s progress and the prosperity of its people."

"The innumerable wishes and the faith you have reposed in me are a source of great strength," PM Modi posted. "I see them as a blessing not for me alone, but for the work we are doing together to build a better India. I resolve to continue working with even greater energy and devotion… This affection has touched my heart deeply. I pray for everyone’s good health and well-being."
PM Modi also praised the spirit of Indians engaging in social service across the country.

I compliment everyone who is at the forefront of such endeavours."
He wrapped up by thanking the "Jana Shakti" – the people’s power – for the inspiration. "I am truly overwhelmed by the countless wishes, blessings, and messages of affection that have poured in from across the nation and overseas. This affection strengthens and inspires me. I thank the people for the same."
