Pakistan postage stamp on 60 years of ties with Kuwait

Pakistan on Tuesday issued a postage stamp to commemorate 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Pakistan and the State of Kuwait here in Islamabad.

Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary, Muhammad Syrus Sajjad Qazi jointly unveiled the stamp with Ambassador of the State of Kuwait to Pakistan, Nassar Abdulrahman J. Almutairi at the Pakistan Foreign Office in Islamabad.

On the occasion, the Kuwaiti Ambassador expressed immense pride and happiness, celebrating six decades of strong and solid friendship between the State of Kuwait and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan representing the deep bonds of cordiality, mutual respect, and shared values that have always nourished our relationship.

He mentioned that this occasion coincides with the glorious anniversary of the State of Kuwait’s celebrations of the 63rd Independence Day and the 33rd Liberation Day, which are occasions dear to the hearts of Kuwaitis who pray to Allah Almighty to protect their wise leadership and to preserve security, stability and peace in their country. The Kuwaiti envoy recalled the historic day in 1963 when diplomatic relations were formally established between the two brotherly countries. “Since its inception, relations between the State of Kuwait and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan have witnessed understanding and consensus on most regional and international issues, advocating for peace and stability,” said the Ambassador.

He pointed out that as we celebrate this milestone, we must not rest on our successes and further strengthen our economic ties by exploring new investment opportunities and promoting joint ventures. “Today, we celebrate NOT just sixty years of friendship, but also the promise of a future filled with even stronger collaboration,” he concluded.

On his part, Pakistan’s Foreign Secretary said that the stamp reflects six decades of fraternal ties. It also signifies the will and determination on both sides to further strengthen the longstanding brotherly relations that have flourished over the years between the two countries. Pakistan and Kuwait have come a long way in strengthening and solidifying their relations. It is aptly illustrated by successful Pakistan-Kuwait ventures in banking, oil exploration and renewable energy.
