Big announcement - Saudi Arabia to invest $100 bn in India - a huge vote of confidence in the Indian economy. PM @narendramodi welcomed announcement by #SaudiCrownPrince to invest in areas like energy, refining, petro-chemicals, infrastructure, agriculture, manufacturing, etc.

Speaking on the second day of hist India visit, and after the signing of five agreements with Modi, the crown prince also said that there were many opportunities for India in Saudi Arabia.

“We expect that the opportunity we are developing in India in many fields will exceed 100 billion dollars over the next two years,” Prince Mohammed said. “We want to work as two governments to ensure these investments and achieve beneficial returns for both countries.

“We also hope that relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and India will contribute to providing more opportunities for Indian laborers and manpower to contribute to the future of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and building the Kingdom's Vision 2030.”

The crown prince spoke of the depth and history of relations between the two countries, acknowledging the role Indian labor and businesses had played in the Kingdom’s development.

He also said the economic partnerships were grounded in the two nation’s similar challenges - “extremism, terrorism and the security of the Indian Ocean.”
He said Modi’s visit to the Kingdom in 2016 had achieved investments worth $44 billion in refining and petrochemicals.

The two countries planned to expand India’s oil storage capacity to make India an “important regional center in distributing oil and its products.”
The crown prince and Modi earlier oversaw the signing of agreements in the fields of investment, tourism, housing and information and broadcasting.

So the question is what were previous governments doing while Saudi Arabia was investing heavily in India? Interestingly they claimed to have very close relations with the Royal family.
Khaqan Abbasi even with the help of Gen Bajwa managed to get a total of 52 seconds of saudi's time. That's a big number don't you think?

If our great leader Mian Nawaz was not going through some Gynecological complications he might be still our PM and then Saudis might be investing more than 120bn in India instead of 100bn in India and 20bn in Pakistan so Raja is worried why Saudis invested 20bn in Pakistan and his concerns are legit.

If only we had spent last 10 years developing our Human Resources instead of building buses and trains in one city and looting the treasury of another city, we could have been getting more investment as well. Never mind, better late then never.

I guess MBS and Saudis were waiting for a trustworthy PM in pak to invest.

Incidentally, I was checking India media earlier. A lot of them are angry at modi as neither he nor MBS took Pakistan’s name when talking about terrorism. Looks like IK’s speech and private discussions had some benefits for us.

Please don't distort the facts. This meeting was 85 seconds long where Saudis nodded positively saying Insha Allah.

خاقان عباسی جب بطور وزیر اعظم سعودیہ گئے تو انہوں نے کہا آپ بھارت میں 40ارب کی ریفا ئینری لگا رہے ہیں پاکستانی میں بھی چار پانچ ارب کی لگا دیں تو ، سعودیہ نے انشا الله بردار کہہ کر ٹرخا دیا
