Saudi Crown Prince Bin Salman Congratulates India on G20 Summit, Vows to Foster Future Collaboration
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has extended his heartfelt congratulations to India on the successful culmination of the G20 Summit. Following a ceremonial welcome at the Rashtrapati Bhavan, the Crown Prince expressed his delight at being in India and commended the outcomes of the summit, believing that they will have far-reaching benefits for the global community.
I am very glad to be here in India. I want to congratulate India for the G20 Summit, Bin Salman conveyed to reporters after the grand reception. He also emphasized the joint efforts that Saudi Arabia and India will undertake to forge a promising future for both nations.
Notably, Saudi Arabia holds great importance as one of India’s key strategic partners in the Middle East. In recent years, the bilateral relations between the two countries have witnessed a significant upward trajectory, encompassing various spheres of cooperation. Particularly in the realm of defense and security, both nations have been dedicated to strengthening their partnership.
In a noteworthy development, in December 2020, General MM Naravane, the Chief of Army Staff, embarked on a historic visit to Saudi Arabia—the first-ever visit by the head of India’s 1.3 million-strong Army to the prominent Gulf nation. Since then, there have been several high-level visits between military officials from both sides, further solidifying ties and fostering collaboration.
The warm exchange between India and Saudi Arabia, fueled by shared aspirations and goals, has laid a solid foundation for mutually beneficial endeavors. As thought leaders and global powerhouses, both nations are poised to make a positive impact on the global stage by leveraging their strengths and synergies.
The Crown Prince’s visit to India and his pledge to collaborate in the future not only deepens the bond between the two nations but also highlights the immense potential for growth and progress that exists when two dynamic countries work towards a common purpose.
In conclusion, the cordial relations between Saudi Arabia and India have been reinforced by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s visit and his commendation of India’s successful hosting of the G20 Summit. With a shared commitment to creating a prosperous future, both countries are poised to amplify their collaboration, ensuring a steadfast partnership that will benefit not just themselves, but the world at large.
