Indo-Saudi Ties: Analyzing the Phases of Engagements

Author: Zakir Hussain*

Abstract:
The present paper attempts to provide a summary of 75 years of engagements between India and Saudi Arabia. It provides a glimpse how the relations between two countries traversed through the choppy waters of the Cold War; role of third country (Pakistan) in their bilateral relations, and factors that navigated the relations to the 21st century, despite all odds and hurdles. Although both countries have some irritants and that is natural too, their patience not only gradually overwhelmed those but also evolved an engagement that prepared the roadmap of complementary and strategic partnership, offering not only a broad canvass of partnership but also deepened trust through strategic partnership and vision for a ‘multipolar’ world.

Keywords:Key Words: Diversification, Cold War, GCC, NEOM City.
