According to Al-Qabas Daily, the Indian Ambassador to Kuwait, Adarsh Swaika, has emphasized the depth of bilateral relations and collaboration between the two countries.
Earlier this week, the Indian envoy to the Gulf nation praised Kuwait’s vital involvement in several regional crises, saying Kuwait has adopted a policy of neutrality in the area and has played an essential role in matters involving Gulf Cooperation Council members.
It is implementing a number of social and economic development projects in many developing countries, particularly through the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, and is at the forefront of countries in providing humanitarian aid all over the world, which the international community greatly appreciates. In its article, Al-Qabas Daily quoted the Indian envoy as stating.
The ambassador said in his statement, “We look forward to high-level visits from both sides to strengthen these historical relations between our two countries due to their importance in providing an opportunity to reach mutual understandings and agreements on important issues.”
He stated that the date and location of the joint committee meeting between the two countries have not yet been determined because it will depend on the arrival of any of the two countries’ foreign ministers, according to Al-Qabas Daily.
On the corporation between the two countries on the security front, the Indian envoy said, “The defence and security relations have so far been limited to training and medical cooperation. Four Indian ships visited Kuwait in July and October of last year. An Indian warship (ANS Visakhapatnam guided missile destroyer) is expected to visit Kuwait in August.”
“Commercially, there is growth in economic and trade cooperation between the two countries. Our bilateral trade amounting to USD 13.8 billion for the period 2022-2023 recorded its highest levels ever, with an increase of 12.8 per cent on an annual basis. The main potential area of cooperation is in the field of Kuwaiti investments in India, which provides an attractive investment and financial climate,” he added further.
