Ajit Doval Talks Kashmir In Meet With Saudi Arabia's Mohammed Bin Salman

Days after Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan visited Saudi Arabia, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman in an effort to counter Pakistan's narrative on Kashmir, sources said.
The one-on-one meeting between Mr Doval and the Saudi Crown Prince in Riyadh lasted for about two hours.

A wide range of issues were discussed on various aspects of bilateral relations.

"The issue of Jammu and Kashmir also figured in the discussion," a senior government official told NDTV, requesting not to be named.

According to him, the Saudi Crown Prince expressed understanding about India's approach and actions in Jammu and Kashmir.

In August, India had ended special status to Jammu and Kashmir and split it into two union territories, saying the move would help ensure that people of the state get the same constitutional benefits as the rest of the country.
