Saudi
Arabia's biggest oil giant Aramco's proposed partnership with Reliance
Industries Ltd reflected the strategic nature of the growing relations
between both the nation's. Saudi Aramco's proposed investments in India's energy
sector such as the US $44 billion in West Coast refinery and petrochemical project
in Maharashtra and long term partnership with Reliance represent strategic
milestones in their bilateral relationship. Saudi prince has said that it will also result into
good relation in trade in other sector.
This
investment is a big deal for India. India's invitation to Saudi Arabia to
invest in its strategic petroleum reserve reflects the trust and goodwill the
two countries share. Asked
whether Saudi Arabia will increase oil supply to India to address the shortfall
due to curb on import of oil from Iran, the envoy said his country is committed
to India's energy security and will meet any shortfall that may arise due to
disruptions from other sources.
