Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent state visit to Saudi Arabia marked a milestone in strengthening bilateral ties between the two nations.
The leaders’ meeting of the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council (SPC) resulted in several noteworthy developments, including the establishment of new committees focusing on defence and cultural cooperation.
These efforts reflect growing collaboration in sectors like energy, technology, health, investment, and people-to-people connections.
Highlights of the visit include Saudi Arabia’s commitment to investing $100 billion in India across sectors such as fintech, manufacturing, and telecommunications. Agreements to establish two refineries in India and breakthroughs in taxation are paving the way for smoother investment flows.
Additionally, the signing of multiple MoUs further reinforced cooperation in space activities, healthcare, anti-doping education, and postal services. The visit underscores the evolution of India’s relationship with Saudi Arabia into a dynamic partnership.
