The brotherly relations between Pakistan and Kuwait have been further cemented following Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s two-day visit to Kuwait on March 6. The Pakistani PM and Kuwait Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jabbar Al-Sabah held a detailed meeting on matters of mutual interest and decided to enhance the level of cooperation between the two countries in various fields. According to reports in the media, Kuwait agreed to waive the six-year-old restriction on the issuance of visas to Pakistanis and the amir of Kuwait issued directives to the concerned officials, including the Kuwaiti prime minister, to complete the process immediately. This will increase employment opportunities for many Pakistanis. Moreover, on the proposal put forward by Nawaz, the amir of Kuwait also agreed to set up a ‘joint business council’ to explore the possibilities of boosting trade ties. This will mean Pakistan will receive investments from Kuwaiti businessmen and enterprises. Ibrar Hussain Lahore
