India and Kuwait have reviewed their bilateral relations and outlined a future roadmap for strategic cooperation in areas such as defense, trade, energy, and cultural exchanges during the seventh round of Foreign Office Consultations in Delhi. With bilateral trade amounting to $10.2 billion and a significant Indian community of over one million in Kuwait, the discussions highlight the countries’ commitment to deepen ties. The implementation of the roadmap, guided by Prime Minister Modi’s visit in December 2024, aims to enhance collaboration on various fronts, reflecting both nations’ strategic interests in the region. This partnership serves to strengthen India’s influence in the Gulf and secure energy resources.
