During his visit, he will co-chair the second meeting of the Political, Security, Social, and Cultural Committee of the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council (SPC) on Wednesday.

The SPC was established in 2019, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Saudi Arabia in October of that year.

According to his schedule, the Saudi Foreign Minister will meet with EAM Jaishankar, at Hyderabad House on Wednesday.

Earlier this month, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, concluded his visit to Saudi Arabia.

During his visit, Union Minister Goyal participated in the Plenary Session of the Eighth Edition of Future Investment Initiative (FII), with representatives from global governments and the industry, as per the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.

He highlighted the critical role of international partnerships and economic diplomacy in fostering global cooperation, innovation, technological advancement, and investment, the Ministry said.

India and Saudi Arabia have formalised many bilateral agreements in recent years, covering sectors such as food exports, pharmaceuticals, electrical interconnectivity, energy, small and medium enterprises, digitisation, and electronic manufacturing.

Both countries are also exploring collaboration in emerging fields like fintech, new technologies, energy efficiency, clean hydrogen, textiles, mining, etc., the Ministry added.
