During Modi's visit, about 12 to 14 agreements and Memorandums of Understanding, are expected to be signed. The agreements focus on energy and labor. Modi will also address the 2018 World Government Summit in Dubai later on Sunday. There are 9 million Indians living in the Gulf region and are said to remit an estimated 35 billion US dollars home each year. The UAE committed to an investment of 75 billion US dollars in India, when Modi visited in 2015.
