Saudi crown prince’s India visit puts relationship to the test | Financial Times:

Saudi Arabia’s Prince Mohammed bin Salman is set to arrive in New Delhi on Tuesday on a state visit that will test the kingdom’s relationship with India after a bloody terror attack in Kashmir, claimed by a Pakistan-based terrorist group, revived Indo-Pakistan tensions.

Prince Mohammed’s trip, during which he is expected to sign investment agreements, comes just days after a visit to Pakistan during which he pledged $20bn to its cash-strapped government and praised Prime Minister Imran Khan’s fight against terrorism.

Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Monday that Riyadh wanted to try to de-escalate tensions between the two neighbouring countries and “to see if there is a path forward to resolving those differences peacefully”.
