Tour amid ongoing war in Middle East

This visit has taken place at a time when the war over Iran in the Gulf region seems to be escalating again. Recently, the US Navy stopped an Iranian cargo ship when it was trying to cross the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has called this action piracy and warned of retaliatory action. In such a situation, there is a possibility of conflict increasing once again, especially because the current ceasefire is going to end soon.

Pakistani fighter jet in Saudi Arabia

Pakistan has deployed its fighter jets in Saudi Arabia, due to which the situation in the region has become more sensitive. Now the question is arising that if conflict starts again and Iran targets Saudi targets, will Pakistan directly support Saudi Arabia? According to the defense agreement signed between the two countries last year, an attack on one will be considered an attack on both.

Ajit Doval’s visit is important

Saud Hafiz, an expert on Saudi-India relations, believes that this visit of Ajit Doval gives an important signal. According to him, Saudi Arabia is now becoming an important center for regional dialogue and diplomatic efforts, where sensitive issues can be discussed with confidence.

Millions of people living in India go to Gulf countries in connection with employment. They earn a lot of money there. The biggest reason behind this is the money of Gulf countries, which cost more than India. If we talk about Saudi Arabia, then according to the report of Vice.com, at present, the price of 1 Saudi riyal is equal to 23.66 in Indian rupees.

That is, if an Indian returns to India by earning 1 lakh Saudi riyal, then he will get about 23 lakh 66 thousand 493 rupees. At the same time, if an Indian citizen goes to Saudi Arabia with Rs 1 lakh, then he will get about 4,224 riyals in return. These figures show why Saudi Arabia is a big attraction for Indian workers.

Indian workers and Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is a major employment center for Indians, Bangladeshis and Pakistanis. Thousands of Indians visit Saudi Arabia every year. Here they mainly work in construction, oil-gas industries, domestic work and service sectors. The biggest reason for workers going on a large scale from India is the difference between Rial and rupee.

Saudi Arabia’s luxury and economic strength
Saudi Arabia is famous for the luxurious lifestyle of its gleaming buildings, high towers and rich sheikhs. This country is economically strong due to oil reserves and energy exports. The society here is modern in terms of economic and infrastructure. This is the reason why people choose it for both tourism and employment.
