Prime Minister Modi’s Visit to Saudi Arabia – Strengthening Strategic Ties
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has departed for a two-day official visit to Saudi Arabia at the invitation of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. This visit comes at a time when India and Saudi Arabia share strong and growing ties in various fields such as politics, security, trade, investment, and energy.
During his visit, Prime Minister Modi is expected to hold high-level discussions with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on key global and bilateral issues. These talks may include topics like strategic cooperation, major investment opportunities, energy security, and regional stability.
Before departure, Prime Minister Modi shared a post on X (formerly Twitter), saying:
“Landed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Looking forward to attending various meetings and events. India values its historical relations with Saudi Arabia.”
The visit is being viewed as a significant step to further elevate India’s influence in the Middle East. In recent years, the India–Saudi relationship has seen notable progress, including mutual trade agreements, defense and security cooperation, and joint development projects.
Both nations have collaborated on global platforms such as the G20, G7, and the United Nations, and this official trip is likely to deepen the strategic engagement.
At the end of this visit, several important bilateral agreements are expected to be signed. These may focus on technology collaboration, infrastructure investments in India, energy transitions, and India’s role in Middle Eastern peace efforts.
