Modi lands in Jeddah:<\/strong> Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in Jeddah yesterday<\/a> for a two-day visit to hold talks with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, visit Indian factory workers, and co-chair a high-level meeting on bilateral cooperation. The visit comes at a time of global trade tensions and growing efforts by both countries to deepen economic and strategic ties.<\/p>\n

Modi is likely to push for fresh Saudi investments in India<\/strong>, including in the energy and defense sectors, following past pledges of up to USD 100 bn. Cooperation in oil and petrochemicals remains key, but both sides are also exploring new areas like renewables, healthcare, and digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The visit seems to have been cut short: <\/strong>The prime minister left Jeddah early this morning, with Indian news outlets citing a deadly terrorist attack in Kashmir \u2014 the worst in over a year \u2014 as the reason for the early departure. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
