Kuwait and China to see ‘enhanced cooperation’ in development projects
Kuwait:
His Highness Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah,
Prime Minister of Kuwait, chaired on Wednesday the 33rd meeting of the
ministerial committee tasked with following up on the country’s major
development projects. During the meeting at Bayan Palace, Sheikh Ahmad reviewed
the outcomes of Chinese Vice President Han Zheng’s visit to Kuwait on November
1-2, described as “fruitful” in a press release published by Kuwait News Agency
(KUNA).
The discussions covered cooperation in the
economic, investment, trade, industrial, transport, infrastructure, energy,
artificial intelligence, food security, digital, and civil aviation sectors,
among others, the statement said.
He added that the seven agreements and memoranda
of understanding signed on September 22, 2023, during the Amir’s visit to China,
marked a “turning point” in bilateral relations. The Prime Minister noted that
these agreements “paved the way for understanding between the two governments
and the start of implementing major joint development projects.”
Assistant Foreign Minister for Asian Affairs and
committee member Ambassador Sameeh Johar Hayat said the meeting discussed
several detailed issues for the current and upcoming phases, both of which “will
see enhanced cooperation with the Chinese government through activating and
implementing bilateral agreements.” Hayat said the meeting reviewed progress on
major projects, including the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Port, cooperation in the
electrical power system, renewable energy development and establishing a
low-carbon green system for waste recycling. It also covered housing
development, environmental infrastructure for wastewater treatment plants and
efforts to combat desertification. He added that Kuwait and China will continue
exploring “diverse and available investment opportunities on both sides.”
