Prime Minister Narendra Modi has hailed the “limitless potential” of India’s strengthening relationship with Saudi Arabia as he arrives in Jeddah for a two-day visit—his third to the Kingdom since 2016.

In an interview with Arab News ahead of his arrival, PM Modi described Saudi Arabia as “a trusted friend and strategic ally,” highlighting the significant growth in bilateral ties since the establishment of the Strategic Partnership Council in 2019.

“Our partnership has limitless potential,” PM Modi said. “In a world full of uncertainties, our bond stands strong, as a pillar of stability.” He praised Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman’s leadership, calling him “a strong advocate of our bilateral ties” and a visionary who has inspired global admiration through the reforms under Vision 2030.
