Dubai’s Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, paid a spectacular tribute to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his 75th birthday.
The skyscraper beamed with vibrant visuals of PM Modi and the message ‘Happy Birthday’ flashing across its LED-lit facade.
The Indian tricolour was also displayed, creating a proud moment for Indians around the globe.
The dazzling light display reflected not only birthday celebrations but also the growing recognition of PM Modi’s global stature.
A similar show of lights was seen on 15th August this year, marking India’s Independence Day.
Warm Wishes from UAE Leadership
The tribute followed a heartfelt message from the President of the United Arab Emirates, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
In a post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the UAE President wrote, “Sincere congratulations to @NarendraModi on your birthday. I wish you continued good health and happiness, and ongoing success in advancing India’s progress and the prosperity of its people.”

The UAE was not alone in celebrating the occasion. Leaders from around the world, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, also extended birthday greetings to PM Modi.

Furthermore, from trade and energy cooperation to people-to-people connections, the India-UAE relationship has flourished under the leadership of both nations.
World leaders and global tributes continue to recognise PM Modi’s leadership and showcase India’s rising influence on the global stage in the 21st century.
