Foreign Affairs Minister S Jaishankar Arrives In Kuwait On Bilateral Visit

Kuwait has been supporting India in dealing with the coronavirus pandemic by supplying relief materials as well as medical oxygen.

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrived in Kuwait on a bilateral visit today. According to diplomatic sources, the aim of the visit is to deepen India's ties with the oil-rich Gulf nation. It comes nearly three months after the two countries decided to establish a joint ministerial commission to formulate a framework to strengthen ties in sectors like energy, trade, investment, manpower and labour and information technology. Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Ahmed Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah visited India in March when both sides decided to set up the joint commission. "Hon'ble External Affairs Minister of India His Excellency Dr S Jaishankar arrives in Kuwait on a bilateral visit and was received by the Ambassador," the Indian Embassy there tweeted on Thursday with the hashtag "India Kuwait Friendship".
