Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister, HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman, on Saturday to discuss the ongoing conflict in West Asia, which has been continuing for over a month.

Modi said he reiterated India’s position condemning attacks on energy infrastructure in the region.

“Spoke with Crown Prince and PM of Saudi Arabia, HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman and discussed the ongoing conflict in West Asia. I reiterated India’s condemnation of attacks on regional energy infrastructure,” Modi wrote in a post on X.

Agreement On Shipping Security

The two leaders agreed on the need to ensure uninterrupted maritime movement.

“We agreed on the need to ensure freedom of navigation and keeping shipping lines open and secure. Thanked him for his continued support for the welfare of the Indian community in Saudi Arabia,” Modi wrote.

Part Of Wider Diplomatic Outreach

The conversation is part of a series of calls Modi has held with global leaders since the conflict between Iran and the United States, backed by Israel, began on February 28.

Earlier this week, on Tuesday, March 24, Modi spoke with US President Donald Trump and described the interaction as a “useful exchange of views on the situation in West Asia”.

He reiterated that India supports de-escalation and early restoration of peace, while stressing that ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure and accessible is essential for the world.

“We agreed to stay in touch regarding efforts towards peace and stability,” Modi said.
