Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammad bin Salman (MbS) cancelled a planned visit to Delhi citing the  "scheduling issues” on both sides, according to sources. 

While the visit was not officially announced, it has been under planning for several weeks, after External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had delivered a letter from Prime Minister Narendra Modi in September, inviting the Saudi Prince.

Meanwhile, officials have confirmed that the cancellation comes as Prime Minister Mohammad and Mr. Modi are expected to meet in Bali for the G-20 summit beginning Monday, and the Saudi Prince will reschedule his visit to Delhi in the near future.

Both the leader were likely to discuss number of issues, including energy cooperation, oil trade and investment in renewable energy projects in India, as well as other areas of infrastructure investment by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
