India has $1 trillion investment potential, PM Modi tells UAE

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday urged top UAE businesses to invest in India, saying the country provides a $1 trillion potential.

Addressing an investors meet in Masdar City, a zero carbon city, Modi also promised to erase the deficit of prime ministerial interactions of the past 34 years. Indira Gandhi was the last prime minister to visit in 1981.

He said that though there are 700 flights between India and the UAE but it took 34 years for an Indian prime minister to visit, adding: "I promise this will not happen again."
