Besides, eminent travel bloggers and travellers from
Kuwait shared their Bharat experiences during the event.
Ambassador of Bharat, Adarsh Swaika, highlighted the
enormous potential for tourism to Bharat. He underlined the ‘complete tourism
experience’ that Bharat offers.
“Embassy of India organized Explore Incredible India
tourism event today with participation of leading travel agents and hoteliers
from India and over 150 travel operators from Kuwait. It showcased the complete
tourism experience that India offers,” the Indian Embassy in Kuwait posted on X.
The event was also live-streamed on the Embassy’s
social media platforms for maximum outreach.
Three days ago, Ambassador Swaika met Kuwait’s
Minister of Electricity and Water, Jaseem Muhammad Abdullah Al-Ostad and
discussed bilateral cooperation in energy and agriculture sectors between the
two countries.
Taking to X, the Indian embassy in Kuwait shared the
information regarding the meeting saying, “Ambassador Adarsh Swaika called on
the Minister of Electricity and Water HE Dr Jassem Muhammad Abdullah Al-Ostad.
Discussions pertained to potential bilateral cooperation in the field of
renewable energy and agriculture. India has one of the largest renewable energy
programmes.”
The bilateral trade between Bharat and Kuwait has
touched an all-time high of US$ 12.5 billion, Swaika said last month.
Trade between the two countries has seen a 90 per cent
yearly jump and currently, it is skewed towards hydrocarbon exports from Kuwait
and exports of mainly food products from Bharat. The bilateral trade has the
potential for diversification, the envoy said.
Bharat and Kuwait share historically warm and close
bilateral ties and the relationship has been nourished by sustained cultural
and civilizational linkages. There are around one million Indians in Kuwait.
Bharat is amongst the largest trading partners of
Kuwait and the Gulf country is a major supplier of oil.
