*New Delhi:* National Security Advisor Ajit Doval paid a two-day quiet visit to Saudi Arabia during which he apprised Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman about the situation in Jammu and Kashmir after the state's special status was withdrawn, official sources said on Wednesday, PTI has reported.
The Saudi Crown Prince MBS emphasised on the need for de-escalation of tension between India and Pakistan, they said.
The NSA arrived in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
Doval and Salman also deliberated on a range of bilateral, regional issues including the missile and drone attacks link on Saudi oil facilities last month and ways to further deepen anti-terror cooperation.
Saudi Arabia is a key pillar of India's energy security, being a source of 17 per cent or more of crude oil and 32 per cent of LPG requirements of India.
