Prime Minister Narendra Modi was conferred with Kuwait’s highest civilian honour, the ‘Mubarak Al-Kabeer Order’, in a ceremony held today at Bayan Palace by Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
‘The Order of Mubarak Al-Kabeer’ is traditionally conferred upon Heads of State, foreign sovereigns, and members of royal families as a gesture of friendship.
PM Modi, who has until now conferred over 20 international honours, joined the likes of US presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush and UK royal King Charles III, all of whom are previous recipients of this award.
PM Modi arrived in Kuwait on Saturday on a two-day trip, the first to this Gulf nation by an Indian prime minister in 43 years.
He held talks with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and also met Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah on Saturday.
He also attended an event held by the Indian diaspora members living there.
