External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will pay an official visit to Kuwait on August 18, according to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). During his visit, he will meet Kuwait Foreign Minister Abdullah Ali Al-Yahya and is expected to call on the leadership of Kuwait.
The MEA stated, “EAM’s visit will enable both sides to review various aspects of our bilateral relations including political, trade, investment, energy, security, cultural, consular and people-to-people contacts as well as exchange views on regional and international issues of mutual interest.”

Maldives Foreign Affairs Minister hailed the meeting as a milestone of India’s commitment to community empowerment in Maldives. Jaishankar also met with Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu on August 10 and emphasized New Delhi’s commitment to deepening India-Maldives ties for the benefit of the people in both countries and the region. “Privileged to call on President Dr Mohamed Muizzu.
