On Friday, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Kuwait is highly significant and is expected to elevate bilateral relations to unprecedented heights.
The visit is scheduled to visit Kuwait on December 21-22, at the invitation of Kuwaiti Amir Sheikh Meshakl al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah. PM Modi will receive a ceremonial guard of honour at the Bayan Palace, the official residence of the Emir. He will then hold separate meetings with the Emir of Kuwait and the Crown Prince, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah, followed by delegation-level talks with the Kuwaiti Prime Minister.
These discussions will cover a wide range of issues, including political relations, trade, investment, energy, cultural exchanges, and people-to-people ties. The Crown Prince will also host a banquet in honour of the Indian Prime Minister.
The visit is seen as an opportunity to elevate the India-Kuwait relationship to new heights, exploring fresh avenues for cooperation while consolidating existing partnerships. It is also expected to strengthen India’s ties with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), of which Kuwait is a key member.
PM Modi’s visit to Kuwait is set to not only reaffirm the strong historical ties between the two countries but also pave the way for deeper and more diversified cooperation in the future.
