Modi, Kuwait Prince Discuss Gulf Security

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Kuwait Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al‑Khaled Al‑Hamad Al‑Mubarak Al‑Sabah on March 18, 2026, focusing on the evolving security situation in West Asia and reaffirming India’s position on regional peace and stability.

In a diplomatic phone call, PM Modi extended greetings on the upcoming festival of Eid and expressed concern over recent developments affecting Gulf nations, emphasizing strong condemnation of attacks on Kuwait’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The conversation also highlighted the importance of safe and free navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global energy route that has seen growing security risks linked to escalating regional conflict. India stressed that dialogue and sustained diplomacy remain essential to restoring peace and security in the region.

Both leaders agreed on the need for continued diplomatic engagement, and PM Modi thanked the Kuwaiti leadership for its support toward the safety and well‑being of the Indian community in Kuwait, where a significant number of Indian nationals reside.

The talks come amid broader tensions in the Gulf, with recent air defense alerts and heightened military activity raising concerns among regional partners about stability and civilian safety.
