External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to visit Kuwait tomorrow

| @indiablooms | 17 Aug 2024, 06:24 pm

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will visit Kuwait on Sunday when he is expected to meet the country's Foreign Minister Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya, officials said.

He is also expected to call on the leadership of the State of Kuwait.

"EAM’s visit will enable both sides to review various aspects of our 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," read the statement issued by the Ministry of External Affairs.

India and Kuwait enjoy traditionally friendly relations, which are rooted in history and have stood the test of time.

India has been a natural trading partner of Kuwait and until 1961, Indian Rupee was a legal tender in Kuwait.

Till the discovery and development of oil, Kuwait’s economy revolved around its fine harbour and maritime activities which included ship building, pearl diving, fishing and voyages to India on wooden dhows carrying dates, Arabian horses and pearls that were traded for wood, cereals, clothes and spices, read the Indian Embassy in Kuwait website.

 The year 2021-22 marked 60th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between two countries.
