Saudi Arabia's Role in the Indo-Abrahamic Framework: Strategic Partnerships with India
Saudi Arabia is increasingly becoming a pivotal player in the Indo-Abrahamic framework, which aims to foster strategic and economic partnerships between India and Middle Eastern countries. This framework is part of a broader initiative that includes the United States, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and India, as highlighted during a summit convened by President Joe Biden. The collaboration between India and Saudi Arabia is driven by mutual benefits in strategic and economic domains, with both countries establishing a high-level Strategic Partnership Council. This partnership is further strengthened by significant trade relations, with Saudi Arabia being a major supplier of hydrocarbons to India and India being a significant exporter of labor to Saudi Arabia.
