Mohammed bin Salman

When a Saudi Arabian leader is disrespected, or an Iranian leader is assassinated, it elicits a personal, religious outrage.

For optics, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia may call each other ‘brothers’ and Islamic allies. Their relation, in reality, is that of a patron and client.

The statement was taken out of context from Mohammed bin Salman's 2018 interview with CBS News.

In addition to banning the collection of donations for Iftars, the Islamic Affairs Ministry of Saudi Arabia also imposed a ban on organising Iftar feasts inside the mosques raising concerns regarding cleanliness.

The historic moment was marked with the opening of the first liquor store in Riyadh's Diplomatic Quarter, available exclusively to non-Muslim foreign diplomats.

Saudi Arabia along with Jordan, Egypt, Mauritania, Djibouti, Sudan, Morocco, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) blocked the controversial resolution.

The transformation of Saudi Arabia under the leadership of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman is a profound shift from its conservative past to a more modern and economically diversified nation. This transformation, marked by social and economic reforms, has sparked both global attention and internal opposition

M Modi held official talks with the Crown Prince and reviewed means to deepen strategic relations between the two nations.

Overall be it in the geopolitical arena, investment opportunities, or growing religious tolerance in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the MBS regime could turn out as a promising sign for India through which the roads of Middle Eastern power politics could be accessed better than ever.
