During his visit, he will co-chair the second meeting of the Political, Security, Social, and Cultural Committee of the India-Saudi Arabia Strategic Partnership Council (SPC) on Wednesday.

The SPC was established in 2019, following Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Saudi Arabia in October of that year.
