And it didn’t stop there—Prince Mohammed and PM Modi also co-chaired the Saudi-Indian Strategic Partnership Council, showing just how deep the ties between the two nations run.

“India deeply values its long and historic ties with Saudi Arabia,” Modi said in a statement, adding that the relationship has gained major strategic momentum in recent years. “Together, we’ve built a partnership that’s both meaningful and beneficial.”

This marks Modi’s third visit to the Kingdom, following previous trips in 2016 and 2019
