Pakistan and Kuwait have reaffirmed their resolve to further strengthen cooperation in a range of areas of mutual interest, including trade, investment, energy, development cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges.

This commitment was expressed at a meeting between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his Kuwaiti counterpart Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah in Antalya today, on the sidelines of the 31st United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31).

During the meeting, the two leaders discussed the longstanding fraternal relations between Pakistan and Kuwait.

They also exchanged views on regional and international developments, particularly the challenges of peace and security in the region, the consequences of climate change, and the importance of international cooperation for sustainable development.

Welcoming the recent ratification of the defence cooperation agreement by both sides, the leaders hoped that this would further promote bilateral cooperation between the two brotherly countries.

The meeting underscored the shared commitment of Pakistan and Kuwait to deepen bilateral ties, particularly business ties, to truly reflect the excellent brotherly relations.

Both leaders agreed to work together for mutual prosperity, regional stability, and sustainable development.
