Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday invited Kuwait to invest in India as he saw the oil-rich Gulf nation as an important and trusted partner in achieving energy security. Pradhan, on a two-day visit to Kuwait, first called on Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Emir of Kuwait, to offer condolences on the passing away of its former Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
He was carrying letters from President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the new leadership of Kuwait. “On behalf of Govt. of India, PM Shri @narendramodi and the people of India expressed sincere condolences to the Al-Sabah family, the Kuwait Govt. and its people, on the sad demise of HH Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Late Emir of the State of Kuwait,” Pradhan tweeted.
