PM-BUSINESS 3 LAST

Describing King Abdullah's January 2006 visit to India as
a "defining moment" in bilateral ties, Singh said the landmark
Delhi Declaration signed by them identified higher flows of
trade and investment, better connectivity and exchange of
ideas as the central pillars of their joint vision for an
enhanced economic partnership.

"I look forward to my dialogue ... with His Majesty to
carry forward the momentum and take the entire gamut of our
relations to even greater heights. I believe this is not only
eminently possible, but also necessary," he said.
Singh expressed confidence that interactions between the
businesses of the two sides will bring "vitality and dynamism"
to bilateral economic cooperation.
"India sees Saudi Arabia as a strategic partner for
promoting peace, stability and economic development. Such a
partnership will bring benefits not only to our two countries
but to the region we both belong to, and to the world at
large," he said.
The Indian Prime Minister said the two sides should also
look at new areas of cooperation like education and skill
development, which are of primary importance to both
countries.
"India has a proven track record in the field of
knowledge-based industries ... India would be happy to share
her experience with Saudi Arabia in the area of human
resources development," Singh said. PTI VMN
