Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently engaged in a “productive” phone discussion with Kuwait’s Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah amidst escalating tensions in the region linked to the ongoing Iran conflict. PM Modi expressed India’s solidarity with Kuwait and condemned any encroachment on its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Emphasizing the importance of dialogue and diplomacy for regional peace, he appreciated Kuwait’s ongoing support for the safety of the Indian community in the country.
In addition to Kuwait, PM Modi has engaged in talks with leaders from UAE, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar in the past two days. India is actively maintaining communication with regional governments and key partners regarding the Iran conflict and the broader Gulf region situation. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kuwait strongly denounced the recent “brutal Iranian attack” on the US Embassy in Kuwait City, labeling it a violation of international norms and laws. Kuwait reiterated its right to take necessary actions to safeguard its security, territorial integrity, and the well-being of its citizens and residents.
Meanwhile, the Indian Embassy in Kuwait is actively assisting Indian nationals stranded in the country due to airspace closures. Embassy officials are in constant contact with the affected individuals, coordinating closely with Kuwaiti authorities, hotel managements, and airlines to ensure the well-being and safe return of the stranded passengers.
