Saudi Arabia ambassador meets PM
NEW DELHI: Saudi Arabia's ambassador to New Delhi on Thursday met Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The meeting comes a day after tensions between India and its western neighbour escalated after Pakistani fighter jets violated Indian air space in response to IAF targeting a JeM terror camp in its territory.
An IAF pilot was captured by Pakistan after an air combat Wednesday. Both sides said they shot down each other's warplanes.
"Dr Saud Mohammed Al-Sati, Saudi Arabia's ambassador to India met PM," the PMO said while tweeting a picture of the two.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman was in India last week.
Terrorism and extremism are "common concerns" and Saudi Arabia will extend all cooperation to India and other neighbouring countries to deal with them, Mohammed Bin Salman had said after holding "extensive and successful" talks with Prime Minister Modi.

India has handled the Pak action admirably. Kudos to PM Modi. Going forward our action should be two pronged. Keep up the pressure on terrorist havens. Secondly Pak is financially constrained. They are looking at various options to collect resources. So if we can hit at points which will hurt Pak financially, that will critically affect their ability to conduct overt action against us. So India should actively campaign against any assistance being given to Pak from sources such as IMF. All trade and personal contact should end. Every Pakistani who is overstaying in India should be located and sent back. Any indian Giving assistance to any foreigner to get Indian identity papers or any such assistance facilitating their staying back here should be criminalised and made liable for highest punishment. This should be with retrospective in effect.Read allPost comment
