Letter.

Letter Published in The National UAE on 24 June 22 AWin -win relationship I write in reference to Ramola Talwar Badam's article How Indians in UAE are working to secure a better future for families back home (June 16): the stories of Indian expatriates living in the UAE and providing for their families are touching. People work hard for years to give their families back home a good life. As someone who used to live in the UAE, I am aware of the hard work and sacrifices expats living in the Gulf make to afford their families the best shot at life. The Gulf expat story is an integral part of the larger Gulf development story. Everyone from expats to locals to governments can be proud of this decades-long, mutually beneficial arrangement.
