India's External Affairs minister, S.M. Krishna will be visiting Kuwait from Feb. 3 to 4 at the invitation of Mohammed Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah, Kuwait's deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. During the visit, Krishna will call on the Amir, Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah and the prime minister, Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al Ahmed Al-Sabah. He is expected to hold discussions with the Kuwaiti leaders on areas of mutual interest between the two countries. "India and Kuwait enjoy traditionally close and friendly relations, based on historical linkages that have deepened and diversified over time. Geographic proximity, ancient trade ties, and cultural affinities, continue to sustain and nurture our long-standing friendship. The presence of a large concentration of Indian nationals in Kuwait is another vital aspect of our bilateral ties," said Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Vishnu Prakash on Monday. Kuwait is an important trading partner for India. India-Kuwait trade amounted to $8.4 billion in 2007-2008 and is estimated at $ 10.5 billion in 2009. Indian companies are active in the petroleum and power sectors in Kuwait. Kuwait is also an important partner in Indian's quest for energy security. During his visit, Krishna will also be meeting a cross section of the Indian diaspora in Kuwait. Around 600,000 Indians live in Kuwait. "The visit to India in June 2006 of the Amir of Kuwait, Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, was a landmark event that imparted a strong momentum to our bilateral ties. The visit to Kuwait by the Vice President of India from 6-8 April, 2009 built upon and further reinforced this friendship between India and Kuwait, to mutual benefit," Prakash said. |
