PM Narendra Modi landed in Kuwait for a two-day visit. He came at the invitation of Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Amir of the State of Kuwait. PM Modi’s visit is the first by an Indian PM in 43 years. This comes two weeks after the collapse of Bashar al-Assad’s regime in Syria and amid signs of a possible ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
