KUWAIT CITY: Kuwait has honoured Prime Minister Narendra Modi with its highest award, 'The Order of Mubarak Al-Kabeer'. This honour marks the 20th international award conferred upon Prime Minister Modi by a foreign nation. Modi dedicated the honour to the people of India and to the strong friendship between India and Kuwait. He was on a two-day visit to Kuwait.

“I am honoured to be conferred the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Order by His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah. I dedicate this honour to the people of India and to the strong friendship between India and Kuwait,” Modi wrote on X.'

During his visit, Modi stated that Kuwait and India share the same sea, through which they exchange love and trade. He also said that India's centuries-old trade ties with Kuwait, as well as their partnership in modern times, are crucial. Modi was speaking at the 'Hala Modi' event organized for Indian expats at the Sheikh Saad Al Abdullah Sports Complex.

"The relationship between India and Kuwait is of civilisations, of the ocean, of trade. India and Kuwait are situated on two banks of the Arabian Sea. We are linked not just by diplomacy but also by our hearts. Not only our present but also our past connects us. This moment is very special for me. After more than four decades, i.e., after 43 years, an Indian Prime Minister has come to Kuwait. It takes 4 hours to reach here from India, but it took 4 decades for the Prime Minister to reach here," he said.
