PM Modi On Official 2-Day Visit To Saudi Arabia, India-Saudi Arabia Set To Sign At Least 6 MoUs

In today's episode of India Global, In a powerful symbol of deepening ties, Prime Minister Narendra Modi touched down in Jeddah this afternoon welcomed with unprecedented grandeur as Saudi Royal Air Force jets sliced through the sky in a rare state honor! This marks PM Modi's third visit to the Kingdom....a journey of friendship, strategy, and shared ambition. The warmth of the welcome was as strong as the partnership it celebrates. From receiving the King Abdulaziz Sash in 201 to co-founding the Strategic Partnership Council in 2019… Modi's Saudi engagements have rewritten the rulebook on diplomacy. From trade to tech, energy to expats the stakes are massive. With $43 billion in two-way trade and 2.7 million Indians in the Kingdom, the ties go far beyond statecraft. Tonight, Modi connects with the heart of the relationship the Indian diaspora. A community that stands tall as a living bridge between two ancient cultures, and two modern powers.
