“When the Prime Minister began his visit to Saudi Arabia, it is worth recalling the first visit of the Saudi king from November to December 1955 to India,” Ramesh said.
Saudi King Saud bin Abdulaziz Al Saud spent 17 days in India between November 26 and December 13, 1955, visiting New Delhi, Mumbai, Kadakhvasla, Bangalore, Bangalore, Mysoru, Hyderabad, Agra, Aligar, Aligar and Varanasi, Ramesh said on X.
“The Saudi King’s extraordinary visit in 1955 overlaps with the two Soviet leaders, Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bulganin, who spent 19 days in India from 18 November 1955 to 30 November 1955 and from 30 November 1955, from 7 December 1955 to 14 December 1955.”
After that, Ramesh recalled that then Prime Minister Nehru visited Saudi Arabia from September 24 to 28, 1956.
Prime Minister Modi said on Tuesday that India cherishes its long and historic ties with Saudi Arabia deeply and asserts that their relationship has gained strategic depth and momentum in recent years. He said in his departure statement ahead of Mohammed bin Salman’s invitation to visit for a two-day visit, he said both countries had established mutually beneficial and substantial partnerships, including in the areas of defense, trade, investment, energy, energy and bonds with people.
