Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday paid a historical two-day visit to the UAE. Cooperation between the two countries resulted in billions worth of investment opportunities and Abu Dhabi's first Hindu temple.
But the construction projects weren't the only results of Modi's trip. The best products from the visit yet were a set of memes, based off a photo capturing an intimate moment between Modi and UAE's Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan.

— Shruti Sunderraman (@sundermanbegins) August 19, 2015Modi remains a popular figure in India and, in the emirates where a good number of Indian expats live, he was welcomed with open arms. Of course, there’s still always room to poke fun at political leaders — especially when there's an epic hug like that to take advantage of.
