He has been given a grand welcome here. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit to Kuwait will mark the beginning of a new era in relations between the two countries. After reaching Kuwait tomorrow Sunday (December 22), he will hold separate meetings with the Amir, Crown Prince and Prime Minister of Kuwait. Then he will return home in the evening of the same day. Meanwhile, Modi is also going to meet people of the Indian community in Kuwait.

one million Indians in Kuwait

Currently, there are one million Indians living in Kuwait, which is the largest number of foreign nationals living there. After 43 years, an Indian Prime Minister is visiting Kuwait. When Iraq attacked Kuwait in 1990, India did not criticize it. This increased tension in relations with Kuwait and political talks between the two countries remained halted for a long time.

Foreign Ministry officials have said that issues related to energy, hydrocarbons and trade relations will be discussed during Prime Minister Modi’s visit. Doing business in local currency will also be a big issue. This visit of PM Modi is also important because Kuwait is now going to preside over the Council of Gulf Countries. Therefore India wants to make a free trade agreement with it.
