The Caretaker Prime Minister of Pakistan, Anwar ul Haq Kakar, on Monday will be going to undertake a one day visit to Kuwait to extend condolences on the demise of Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah.
It is to be noted that, the details about the visit of PM Kakar to Kuwait has been shared by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan.
As per the details shared by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan, “During the visit, PM Kakar will convey to the Royal Family, the government and the people of Kuwait the sympathies and condolences of the Government and the people of Pakistan over the demise of Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah.”
Notably, Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad Al-Sabah passed away at the age of 86-years-old on 16 December 2023. The details about his death has been shared by the Royal Court. Emir Sheikh Nawaf passed away just over three years after assuming power in the US allied Gulf oil producer.
The reason behind the death of Emir Nawaf was not immediately disclosed. The emir was admitted to the hospital last month on November 29, 2023 due to what the state news agency described at the time as an emergency health issue.
Crown Prince Sheikh Meshal al-Ahmad al-Sabah, 83, who has been Kuwait’s de facto ruler since 2021, when the frail emir handed over most of his duties, was named as Sheikh Nawaf’s successor.
During the visit in November, PM Kakar and Prince of Kuwait Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmed Al Jaber Al Sabah agreed to deepen the bilateral relationship between their countries in diverse fields.
PM Kakar reaffirmed the significance Pakistan attaches to its relationship with Kuwait and reiterated the desire to further expand bilateral cooperation in diverse fields, the PM Office said in a statement on November 29.
