Prime Minister Modi held bilateral talks with Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman and signed the Strategic Partnership Council agreement. pic.twitter.com/Yh644K84I7 Modi`s visit is important, as it comes three months after India lifted its special status of Kashmir. Former ambassador to Riyadh Talmiz Ahmed, however, believes Kashmir is unlikely to receive the attention of Saudi leaders, given that the visit is expected to bolster the global stature of the crown prince, who suffered after the brutal death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. "This visit is a sign of confidence in Crown Prince bin Salman`s leadership and is used to show that Saudi-Indian relations are determined by long-term strategic considerations such as India`s energy security and our desire to ensure stability in the Gulf region," Ahmad said. In a major upgrade of the strategic partnership, Prime Minister @narendramodi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman sign the Strategic Partnership Council agreement. . . .
