Riyadh: Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Riyadh today, the second and last day of his bilateral visit to Saudi Arabia.
"Last month in Delhi, now in Riyadh. Saudi FM @AdelAlJubeir calls on PM @narendramodi before the ceremonial welcome," External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup tweeted along with pictures of the two leaders.
Mr Jubeir had come to New Delhi early last month as part of the preparations for the prime ministerial visit and held meetings with PM Modi as well as External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj.
There will be a restricted meeting between PM Modi and King Salman followed by delegation-level talks and the signing of agreements.
During the course of PM Modi's visit, ties between India and Saudi Arabia are expected to be elevated from the current strategic partnership to a more broad-based one.
Saudi Arabia is the third and last leg of PM Modi's five-day, three-nation foreign tour which also took him to Brussels and Washington, D.C.
This is the first prime ministerial visit from India to the oil-rich Gulf kingdom since the visit of Manmohan Singh in 2010.
