Last month, Adarsh Swaika met Kuwait's Minister of Electricity and Water, Jaseem Muhammad Abdullah Al-Ostad and discussed bilateral cooperation in energy and agriculture sectors between the two countries.
Trade between the two countries has seen a 90 per cent yearly jump, while currently it is skewed towards hydrocarbon exports from Kuwait and exports of mainly food products from India. The bilateral trade has the potential for diversification, the envoy said.
India and Kuwait share historically warm and close bilateral ties and the relationship has been nourished by sustained cultural and civilizational linkages. There are around one million Indians in Kuwait.
India is among the largest trading partners of Kuwait and the Gulf country is a major supplier of oil. (ANI)
