Kuwait has ratified a broad defence cooperation agreement with Pakistan, three years after it was signed, according to the country’s official gazette.
The agreement was approved and published on Sunday in the official gazette, Kuwait Al-Youm, formalising a defence pact signed by the two countries in June 2023, the Kuwait Times reported.
The agreement establishes a framework for military cooperation between the Kuwaiti and Pakistani armed forces, covering military training, education, intelligence sharing, logistics, defence technology, research and exchanges of expertise, with the aim of strengthening institutional military ties between the two countries.
It also provides for cooperation in military manufacturing, electronic communications systems, scientific research, military media and cultural and sports activities.
Under the agreement, a joint military committee will oversee implementation, including the organisation of joint military exercises, official visits and other cooperative programs.
