The Saudi capital of Riyadh was the venue for pivotal discussions on Wednesday, where the India-Saudi Arabia Security Working Group’s third meeting took place. Guided by the SPC’s relevant committee, Dr. Vinod Bahade and Ahmad Al-Eisa steered the proceedings with authority.
Opening with resolute condemnations, the nations rejected all terrorism outright, particularly cross-border variants. Grave mention was given to the Pahalgam civilian massacre in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, 2025, and the Red Fort vicinity outrage in New Delhi on November 10, 2025.
A full-spectrum review of security engagements set the stage, followed by strategic deliberations on terrorist threats emanating from global and local spheres. Both parties committed to ramping up assistance against conventional and evolving counter-terrorism imperatives.
Spotlight areas involved neutralizing extremist propagation, dismantling financing apparatuses, thwarting technological terror applications, and severing organized crime-terror alliances. Strengthening frameworks for legal, judicial, and enforcement cooperation rounded out the talks.
India will host the subsequent round at a jointly decided time. Echoing last April’s SPC enhancements with defense and cultural-tourism panels, these steps fortify a partnership poised to counter contemporary security paradigms effectively.
