India-Kuwait Ties Set to Deepen as PM Modi Embarks on Historic Visit

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to embark on a historic visit to Kuwait on December 21-22, marking the first trip by an Indian PM to the Gulf nation in over four decades. This visit holds immense significance for both countries, aiming to strengthen ties across multiple sectors.

The visit comes at a crucial time when both nations are looking to enhance their economic and strategic partnerships. Kuwait, a key supplier of crude oil to India, is also home to a large Indian diaspora, with around one million Indians contributing significantly to the local economy. Discussions during Modi’s visit are expected to focus on trade, investment, defense cooperation, and the welfare of the Indian community in Kuwait.

This diplomatic engagement is poised to open new chapters in bilateral relations, particularly in defense and trade. The last visit by an Indian Prime Minister to Kuwait was in 1981, highlighting the rarity and thus the importance of Modi’s current trip. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has noted that the visit will provide an opportunity to further strengthen multifaceted ties, including cultural exchanges and energy security.

Moreover, Modi’s interactions with Kuwaiti leadership and his address to the Indian diaspora will underscore the personal and cultural connections between the two nations. The visit is also symbolic, as it reflects India’s strategic outreach to deepen relations with Gulf countries.
