According to media sources, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will embark on a two day visit to Saudi Arabia on Tuesday at the invitation of the Crown Prince and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This will be PM Modi’s third visit to the Kingdom after his previous visits in 2016 and 2019. The visit follows the State Visit of Prince Salman to New Delhi in September 2023 to attend the G20 Summit and co-chair the first meeting of the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council.
Briefing media in New Delhi this evening, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri said, the visit is important on account of the obvious significance of Saudi Arabia as a strategic partner for India. He said, Saudi Arabia hosts a very large Indian expatriate community, possibly the second-largest expatriate community of its kind anywhere in the world. Mr Misri said, Saudi Arabia is a leading voice in the Islamic world and is increasingly playing an important role in regional developments. He said, the visit provides an opportunity to build on the already strong relations with this strategic partner. The Foreign Secretary said, the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince share a very close personal relationship with a lot of warmth and respect for each other, and the bilateral relationship has gained a lot from strategic guidance at the topmost level.
Mr Modi will be welcomed to the city of Jeddah by Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman. The two leaders will co-chair the second meeting of the Strategic Partnership Council. Several MoUs between the two sides are also expected to be signed after the bilateral talks. Mr Modi is also expected to visit a factory employing Indian workers in Saudi Arabia. Replying to media queries, Mr Misri said, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Saudi Arabia will also provide an important opportunity to discuss pressing regional and global developments, including the situation in West Asia, the Israel-Palestine conflict and the threat to maritime security posed by Houthi attacks.
