KUWAIT CITY, May 27: The Reconnaissance Center for Research and Studies recently held a closed-door discussion panel hosting a high-level Indian delegation. This was part of the center’s international outreach efforts to promote dialogue and exchange expertise with institutions and individuals worldwide. According to a press release, the meeting happened a few months after the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s landmark official visit to Kuwait, which was the first of its kind in over four decades. The meeting at the Reconnaissance Center serves as a natural continuation of the positive momentum witnessed in the bilateral relations between the two countries.

The visiting Indian delegation included a diverse group of senior politicians and diplomats, led by Vice President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Special Envoy of the Prime Minister, Baijayant Jai Panda, along with several prominent figures from parliament, government, and civil society organizations. The panel discussion was attended by a large number of prominent Kuwaiti figures, including Sheikh Hamad Jaber Al-Ali Al-Sabah, Dr. Hilal Al- Sayer, Ambassador Abdullah Bishara, Ahmed Al- Saqr, Ahmed Al-Jarallah, Mohammed Al-Aiban, Abdullah Al-Jouan, Dr. Haila Al-Mukaimi, Alia Al-Khaled, and Dr. Mohammed Al-Feely.

Commenting on the visit, Founder and CEO of the Reconnaissance Center Abdulaziz Al-Anjari stated that since its establishment six years ago as an independent institution, the center has been dedicated to serving as a platform for dialogue and a bridge of communication between Kuwait and the world. He expressed his pleasure in welcoming Kuwait’s guests and providing a space for the exchange of views in an atmosphere of mutual respect. Al-Anjari stressed that this visit exemplifies the role the Reconnaissance Center aims to play in the coming period as an active contributor to building strategic relationships through culture and thought, reflecting Kuwait’s image as a confident, open country that recognizes the importance of soft power in shaping its international relations
