Strengthening India-Saudi Arabia strategic bonds

Sir,
The article “Strategic India-Saudi Arabia Ties” (April 27) aptly captures the growing importance of Indo-Saudi relations. The expansion from energy cooperation to defence, cybersecurity, and counterterrorism efforts reflects a matured, forward-looking partnership. Joint military exercises and cybersecurity initiatives highlight the deep trust between the two nations in addressing emerging global threats.
Additionally, economic cooperation, especially through Vision 2030 and India’s development ambitions, opens vast opportunities for mutual growth. The proposed Free Trade Agreement with the GCC and projects like the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor promise to further enhance regional integration and prosperity. As the world witnesses shifting geopolitical alignments, a robust India-Saudi Arabia partnership is vital for ensuring regional peace and global stability. Strengthening this relationship serves both nations’ long-term strategic and economic interests.
