Foreign Minister Jaishankar calls on Kuwaiti Crown Prince to discuss bilateral relations

External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Sunday (August 18) called on Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah and sought his views on how to take bilateral relations to a higher level.

Jaishankar arrived in Kuwait on Sunday for a one-day visit. Upon his arrival in the country, he was received by his Kuwaiti counterpart Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya.

“It is an honour to receive His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Sabah Al-Hamad Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, Crown Prince of the State of Kuwait. I conveyed to him the greetings of the President and the Prime Minister. India and Kuwait share centuries-old ties of goodwill and friendship. Our contemporary partnership is expanding steadily. I appreciate his guidance and ideas to take our ties to a higher level,” Jaishankar said in a post on X.

Jaishankar’s visit will enable both sides to review various aspects of India-Kuwait bilateral relations, including political, trade, investment, energy, security, cultural, consular and people-to-people contacts, as well as exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual interest, the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement ahead of the visit.

The visit came nearly two months after 45 Indians died in a devastating fire at a building in Kuwait. At least 49 foreign workers were killed and 50 others injured in the fire that occurred in June at the seven-storey Mangaf building in Kuwait.
