Saudi Arabia is India's fourth largest trading partner
with two-way commerce being to the tune of about 25 billion
dollars.

Saudi Arabia hosts around 1.8 million Indians as
workers. Their remittances are to the tune of five billion
dollars annually.
In an interview to Saudi journalists ahead of his
visit, Singh said that considerable progress had been made in
realising the vision of Delhi Declaration which enshrined the

more effectively coordinated to meet the challenges. PTI ETB
