Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud has landed on Indian soil. As soon as his plane landed on Indian soil, the news spread rapidly that the arrival of the Foreign Minister of Saudi Arabia would be full of new hopes for India. Let us tell you that India’s Foreign Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar is very busy at the moment. The meetings taking place one after the other clearly indicate that India is now moving ahead in the global order under a larger strategy. India and Saudi Arabia are witnessing deepening diplomatic, cultural and security relations. It is not hidden from anyone that how India is increasing contacts with Middle East countries at every level. In the last few years, India also came very close to Saudi and UAE. UAE leaders often visit India. India is also in continuous contact with Saudi. Amidst all this, a big meeting of Islamic countries is taking place. At such a time, Saudi Foreign Minister has landed on Indian soil to hold a big meeting with the Indian Foreign Minister.
During his stay, Prince Faisal was seen co-chairing the meeting of the Political Security, Social and Cultural Committee of the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council. Also met India’s Foreign Minister Dr. Jaishankar. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said in a post on Twitter that Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Minister HH Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al Saud is warmly welcomed to India on an official visit. His visit will provide further momentum to the multifaceted India-Saudi Arabia bilateral relations. As soon as Prince Faisal landed in India, speculations started as to whether any big deal is going to happen between the two countries. If there is an indication of strengthening the relations between the two countries at the mutual level, then at what level will this happen? This question also becomes important because tension is increasing in the Middle East. Trump has returned to power in America. A period of major reshuffle is going on in the global order.
Indian expatriates living in Saudi Arabia form an important part of the society there, promoting cultural exchange between the two countries. This visit can open up better facilities and opportunities for cooperation for NRIs. Apart from this, issues related to employment and lifestyle for Indians working in Saudi Arabia can also be discussed, thereby deepening the relations between the two countries. This visit of Prince Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud to India will not only strengthen bilateral relations but will also strengthen India-Saudi cooperation on international platforms. After this visit, cooperation between the two countries in areas like defence, trade and technology is expected to gain further momentum, which will take bilateral relations to new dimensions.
