With what agenda is Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman coming to India?
Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and the Prime Minister are visiting India in mid-November. His visit to India is considered very important before participating in the G-20 summit in Indonesia.
Giving prominence to the news of the Crown Prince’s visit to India, ‘The Hindu’ has written that during his visit to India, he may talk to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on energy security.
The meeting of Modi and the Crown Prince is considered to be very important in the challenges that have arisen on the energy security front after the Russo-Ukraine war.
In fact, the situation has become complicated after the reduction in oil production by OPEC-plus countries including Russia. US President Joe Biden warned Saudi Arabia of “consequences” after OPEC+ countries cut oil production.
Joe Biden will also attend the G20 meeting. In fact, the international politics of oil and gas has become complicated after sanctions imposed by Western countries against Ukraine after Russia’s attack. Therefore, there is a tug of war between the oil producing countries and the major oil consumer countries.
In 2020, the G-20 countries conference was held in Saudi Arabia. This conference will be held in India next year. The agenda of this conference can also be discussed between the Crown Prince of Saudi and Modi.
According to ‘The Hindu’, the Crown Prince of Saudi will also review bilateral projects between the two countries during this visit to India. In fact, in 2019, the Crown Prince had announced an investment of $ 100 billion in India, but the matter has not progressed much on this.
The newspaper quoted diplomatic sources as saying that Modi may not participate in the ASEAN-India summit and East Asia summit to be held from November 10 to 13 in November. Whereas this is the 30th year of the ASEAN-India partnership. A special conference is being organized for this.
