Dubai: Dubai's iconic Burj Khalifa was illuminated on Wednesday night to mark Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 75th birthday.

The world's tallest tower displayed multiple images of Modi, accompanied by the Indian national flag's tricolour.

"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," Sheikh Mohamed posted.

The President's wishes and the light display on the Burj Khalifa served as symbols of the strong bilateral ties between India and the UAE.

Various other world leaders, including the US President Donald Trump, and celebrities also conveyed their wishes to Modi.

Meanwhile, several Modi fans in the UAE held cake-cutting ceremonies and also shared their birthday wishes on social media.
