Claim: Video of Arab Sultan presenting gold chain to PM Narendra Modi as a welcome gift.
Fact-check: Old video of PM Modi receiving highest civilian award of UAE is shared as a welcome gift presented to him during a recent visit - FACTLY
Verdict: the video is from 2019 when narendra modi was conferred with the highest civilian award of uae, 'order of zayed'. on 24 august 2019, pm narendra modi was awarded the highest civilian award of uae 'order of zayed' by the crown prince of uae, mohamed bin zayed al nahya. order of zayed "consists of a collar centred by a medallion holding the name of 'zayed' the founding father of the united arab emirates." mohamed bin zayed al nahya had personally put the gold medal around narendra modi's neck. it is awarded to heads of states "for their international leadership in strengthening relations with united arab emirates." past awardees include russian president vladimir putin, chinese president xi jinping. narendra modi did visit uae recently, but he was not presented any gold chains as a welcome gift. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
