Royal Escort: When Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plane entered Saudi airspace and was escorted to Jeddah by Saudi fighter jets, it was the rarest, exceptional gesture that everyone noticed. This unique occasion exemplifies the close friendship and partnership between Saudi Arabia and India.
PM Modi’s Saudi Tour:
Currently traveling to Jeddah, PM Modi will remain in Saudi Arabia for the duration of his two-day official visit. Before his trip, Prime Minister Modi praised Saudi Arabia, calling it “one of India’s most valued partners, a trusted friend, and a strategic ally.” In a recent interview, Prime Minister Modi further stated that the Saudi-Indian alliance had “limitless potential.” This will be PM Modi’s third visit to the Kingdom, following trips in 2016 and 2019, at the invitation of Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman. It follows the Crown Prince’s state visit to New Delhi for the G20 Summit in September 2023 and is part of the two countries’ continuing high-level diplomatic engagements.
