India says it expects Saudi Arabia to mind ‘sensitivities’ after pact with Pakistan

MAMBAI (Reuters) – India said that on Friday, Saudi Arabia hoped that Riyadh’s new Delhi’s former enemy Pakistan signed a mutual defense agreement with Pakistan, and that he would keep the mutual interests and sensitivities between the two countries in mind.

Saudi Arabia and the nuclear armed Pakistan signed the agreement on Wednesday, and although several details were open to the public, analysts may mean that Riyadh would have a de facto nuclear shield under the agreement.

In the Middle East and in a deadly Indian-Pakistan conflict, the agreement, which came in a diplomatic turmoil, says that any aggression against both countries will be considered as aggression against both.

“India and Saudi Arabia have a significant strategic partnership that has deepened significantly deepened in the last few years. He said.

“We expect this strategic partners to keep in mind the mutual interests and sensitivities.” He said.

Saudi Arabia, one of the best exporters of oil to India, and the two countries have decided to increase cooperation in raw and liquefied oil gas materials this year.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the two countries have also explored joint projects in refineries and petrochemistry.

On Thursday, the Indian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the agreement was taken into consideration and that he would examine the results of the new Delhi.

Pakistan, the only nuclear armed Muslim nation, has an army of more than 600,000 soldiers to defend the much larger enemy against India, one of the poorer countries in Asia.

In May, the neighbors fought three major wars, including their most severe struggles for decades, including four -day conflicts.
