On the invitation of Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs of Kuwait, Dr. Ahmed Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah, will be visiting Pakistan from March 18, 2021 to March 19. He will be accompanied by a delegation consisting of senior officials from the Kuwaiti Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Health, Interior, and Trade and Industry, revealed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
 
The visit of the Kuwaiti Foreign Minister comes just weeks following the bilateral meeting held with Foreign Minister Qureshi on the sidelines of the 47th Session of the OIC Council of Foreign Ministers in Niamey, Niger, in November 2020. The two Foreign Ministers agreed to work closely towards further strengthening and expanding bilateral cooperation in diverse fields.
 
To follow-up on the two Foreign Ministers’ understanding, Kuwait’s Assistant Foreign Minister for Asian Affairs visited Pakistan in January 2021 and held consultations in the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Interior, Overseas Pakistanis, and Human Resource Development and Economic Affairs Division, as well as the Board of Investment.
 
During the visit, besides having wide-ranging talks with Foreign Minister Qureshi, the Kuwaiti Foreign Minister will call on other dignitaries.
 
Pakistan accords “high importance to its fraternal ties with Kuwait, which are firmly rooted in “shared faith and values”. The bilateral relationship is marked by high-level visits and growing cooperation across myriad fields. During the global pandemic, the two countries collaborated closely in the health sector and food security.
 
“Pakistan acknowledges the positive role of the Kuwaiti leadership in building bridges among the members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Pakistan also stands in solidarity with the State of Kuwait in the efforts to strengthen unity among Muslim countries,” concluded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
