Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is on a three-day visit to Buenos Aires to attend the G-20 summit, will hold a bilateral meeting with Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman and United Nations Secretary-General Antonia Guterres on Thursday, said sources.
In recent years, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has been a valuable partner. The relationship has expanded beyond the Indian community to issues related to the economy, energy and security. All issues of bilateral and regional interest will be discussed.
The UN Secretary General has reached out to the Prime Minister for the second time in two months. The two leaders give utmost importance to the issue of climate change. This outreach comes just a week before COP24 (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in Katowice, Poland. It reflects the respect in which the Prime Minister and his initiatives are held globally to take the lead on issues of global importance.
In October, Guterres visited India for a three-day official trip.
Prime Minister Modi will also hold multiple bilateral and plurilateral meeting sduring the course of his visit. He will engage with several world leaders on the sidelines of the G20 summit.
