Although the Crown Prince is just 38 years old, it was MBS who as the principal architect first approached Bharat for the Middle-East Corridor and also brought US and UAE into the ambitious plan that has the potential of becoming the backbone of global trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prince MBS and PM Modi have a personal relationship which is based on mutual trust. Saudi Arabia and India will further strengthen their relationship as Riyadh has plans of investing in India. Riyadh is looking forward to Riyal-Rupee trade in oil exports to Bharat. The two nations have close security and strategic ties and share views on opposing religious radicalization by terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and pan-Islamic forces like Muslim brotherhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">JUST IN: HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince &amp; PM of the Kingdom of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SaudiArabia?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SaudiArabia<\/a> accorded a ceremonial welcome at the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhawan on his state visit.<br><br>He was received by the President of India and PM Modi on his arrival. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VNdP1FWGKi\">pic.twitter.com\/VNdP1FWGKi<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Schr\u00f6dinger (@thewittynoise) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thewittynoise\/status\/1701108385666773330?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 11, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is due to PM Modi and Crown Prince MBS joint efforts and candid conversations that Pakistan\u2019s leverage on the bilateral equation has been reduced to zero.
