During a reception hosted by the Kuwait Embassy to welcome head of the Military Liaison Officer Colonel Fahad Al-Shammari and Assistant Head of the Office Colonel Nawaf Al-Obaidan in the presence of Arab ambassadors and heads of Arab military officials in New Delhi, the Kuwaiti ambassador affirmed that the opening of the military office is an expression of a firm desire to enhance cooperation in the military fields between the two countries and is expected to help increase exchange visits by concerned officials and conducting bilateral and multilateral military exercises.

It is expected that the military office will work to enhance defense and security cooperation between the two countries by participating in a number of military events, exhibitions and conferences held by India from time to time, the ambassador said.

India was one of the first countries to recognise Kuwait’s independence and is currently in process to expand its security and defence partnership with the Gulf region.

India also imparts military training to personnel from neighboring and Arab countries in the Indian military institutes.
