PRIME Minister Narendra Modi concluded a State Visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on 22 April 2025, at the invitation of Crown Prince and Prime Minister Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, an official press release by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated.
The visit marked another milestone in the expanding strategic relationship between the two nations.
This was Prime Minister Modi’s third visit to the Kingdom and followed the historic September 2023 visit of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to India, where he participated in the G20 Summit and co-chaired the first meeting of the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council. The current visit built on that momentum, with both sides reaffirming their shared vision for a more robust partnership.
A key area of focus during the talks was climate cooperation. Both countries reiterated their commitment to the principles of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. They underlined the need for climate policies that focus on emissions reduction rather than the energy sources used.
In recognition of India’s growing role in global climate leadership, Saudi Arabia appreciated India’s pioneering initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance, the One Sun-One World-One Grid campaign, the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI), Mission Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE), and the Global Green Credit Initiative. — ANI
