On Monday, he will hold a meeting with Sathasivam which will be attended by Vijayan and other top state officials.

On Monday evening, Al-Qasimi will interact with members of the civil society and Kerala businessmen who have made it big in the Middle East.

On Tuesday, the Calicut University will confer upon him an honorary doctorate.

Al-Qasimi’s trip to Kerala follows Vijayan’s invitation when he travelled to Sharjah last December.
