Prime Minister Narendra Modi will undertake a visit to Kuwait at the invitation of the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, where he will interact with the Indian diaspora at the community event and also visit a labour camp and also attend the opening ceremony of the 26th Arabian Gulf Cup as a special guest of the Emir of Kuwait.

Addressing the special briefing on the Prime Minister’s visit to Kuwait, Ministry of External Affairs Secretary (CPV and OIA) Arun Kumar Chatterjee gave a brief context on PM Modi's visit and highlighted the strong relationship between both nations, stating "excellent political relations between the two countries." "This marks the first visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Kuwait in 43 years and therefore assumes considerable significance," he said.

"PM Modi will be accorded a ceremonial guard of honor at the Bayan Palace (Kuwait Emir's main palace), following which he will be holding separate meetings with the Emir of Kuwait and the crown prince of Kuwait, Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah. There will be delegation-level talks with the prime minister of Kuwait thereafter," he further stated.

During these bilateral discussions, PM Modi will review with the leadership of Kuwait the entire spectrum of our bilateral relations, including areas such as politics, trade, investment, energy, culture, and people-to-people ties, and the steps that both sides need to take to further enhance them. The Crown Prince will be hosting a banquet in honor of the honourable prime minister.

This historic visit by the prime minister is expected to open a new chapter in India and create bilateral relations. It will not only consolidate the partnership in existing spheres but also unveil new avenues for future cooperation, reinforce our shared values, and build a stronger and more dynamic partnership for the future. It is also expected to boost the ties between India and the Gulf Cooperation Council.
