Ties between India and Saudi Arabia, where millions of Indians are employed as migrant workers, have strengthened since Modi visited Riyadh in 2016 to sign a memorandum of understanding on cooperation with intelligence-gathering on money laundering and terrorism financing.
Trade between the two countries totaled $27.5 billion last year.
