Crown Prince: Attack and India

crown prince: Tensions between the countries have soared since the attack, in which a militant rammed an explosive-laden van into a paramilitary bus in Kashmir, according to The Japan Times. It was the worst attack against Indian government forces in Kashmir's history. The crown prince was welcomed at the airport by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who embraced him in a characteristic bear hug. ; Prince Mohammed is expected to make an effort to defuse tensions between India and Pakistan as New Delhi weighs its response to last Thursday's attack. India has threatened a jaw-breaking response. Other agreements are expected to be signed Wednesday in investment, tourism, housing and communications. Ties between India and Saudi Arabia, where millions of Indians are employed as migrant workers, have strengthened since Modi visited Riyadh in 2016 for the signing of a memorandum of understanding on cooperation with intelligence-gathering on money laundering and terrorism financing.
