NEW DELHI: The Pulwama attack is expected to widen the contours of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s maiden visit to India this week.
India will be looking for some “strong language” on terrorism besides announcing steps to boost counter-terrorism cooperation with Saudi Arabia in a joint statement expected to be issued at the end of Prince Salman’s visit, two people familiar with the development said on Sunday.
After last week’s Pulwama attack in which at least 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel were killed by a suicide bomber driving a vehicle rigged with explosives, terrorism has emerged as a major talking point for India during discussions scheduled during the Prince’s visit starting Tuesday.
