External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar began a diplomatic visit to West Asia aimed at strengthening India’s engagements across the region.
The trip follows heightened tensions affecting energy shipping and Indian expatriate communities in Gulf states. India maintains deep trade and labor ties with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern partners.
Jaishankar’s itinerary was expected to include discussions on bilateral investment, security cooperation and humanitarian corridors. India has balanced relations with Iran and Arab Gulf monarchies despite regional rivalries.
The Ministry of External Affairs did not detail every stop in initial announcements but framed the visit as routine strategic outreach.
