Ajit Doval's Diplomatic Mission: Navigating Middle-East Tensions

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval visits Saudi Arabia to discuss regional security amid rising tensions between the US and Iran. He is scheduled to meet Saudi officials, as the US boosts its military presence and pressures Iran over its nuclear program. This visit follows a Saudi-Pakistan defense pact.

National Security Advisor Ajit Doval has embarked on a crucial visit to Saudi Arabia at a time when the geopolitical climate in the Middle-East is rapidly evolving. The discussions are poised to focus on regional security matters and the current state of bilateral relations.

During his official trip, Doval was welcomed in Riyadh by both Indian Ambassador Suhel Ajaz Khan and Saudi Deputy Minister for Political Affairs Saud Al-Sati. His visit has been timed amid escalating tensions involving the United States and Iran.

The US has reinforced its military presence by deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group in the Arabian Sea, pressurizing Iran to negotiate its nuclear agenda. Months prior, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan solidified their defense partnership, further adding a layer of complexity to Middle-Eastern dynamics.
