The two countries share strong energy ties through oil credit facilities, investment in petroleum exploration, and Kuwait’s supply of white oil products to Pakistan. Malik reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to further deepen the petroleum partnership and expand collaboration amid evolving global energy dynamics.
Ambassador Almutairi praised Pakistan’s progress and stability. He noted that while Pakistan’s development is evident, “enemies are envious of this progress and are attempting to derail stability.” He said Kuwait stands firmly with Pakistan and wishes to see it prosper on all fronts.
