between the two countries,and emphases on the development of bilateral relations from a strategic perspective by both sides,
are contributing to a closer relationship in trade and investment in the energy sector between the two countries. However,energy
cooperation between the two is restricted by the energy censorship,religious culture,and domestic situation of Saudi Arabia.
Now,India and Saudi Arabia are inspecting the bilateral energy cooperation from a strategic perspective,so as to create a good
condition to further promote energy cooperation between the two countries.
