On behalf of the Pakistani community in Kuwait and on my own behalf, I congratulate His Highness Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on taking the Oath of Office as the Amir of the State of Kuwait. I wish His Highness good health and the people of Kuwait peace, prosperity and Allah’s blessings. I also wish the Amir success in his rule and I am confident that the existing excellent bilateral partnership will be further enhanced and the cooperation for mutual benefit of the two countries will increase.

Pakistan-Kuwait relations have deep roots, as they are firmly founded on commonalities of faith, traditions, values and convergent interests. The two countries enjoy cordial relations based on mutual respect and trust. I am hopeful that our relations will further flourish under the able stewardship of His Highness.
