The talks, presided over by Al-Yahya and Lammy, come some 126 years after diplomatic relations began in earnest, while trade ties date back more than 250 years, according to a foreign ministry statement. The history of relations between Kuwait and London is dotted with instances of camaraderie and cultural exchange, in addition to productive cooperation across fields ranging from healthcare to education, the statement cited the Kuwaiti top diplomat as saying, highlighting Britain’s commitment to protect Kuwait’s security.
On bilateral relations, the British foreign secretary said that London is proud of the “strategic partnership” linking the two nations, which continues to make significant headway across multiple fields, added the statement. The talks also covered a wide array of pressing matters of mutual concern, while the Kuwaiti and British foreign ministers exchanged their views on ongoing developments around the region and beyond, agreeing that the deals signed serve the collective interests of both nations, it said. The next round of talks is slated to take place in London next year, the statement said.
Lammy said the UK is working to strengthen cooperation with Kuwait in trade, investment and business, in addition to security and defense, particularly in light of the current challenging global security environment, especially in the Middle East. In an exclusive statement to KUNA on Sunday at the Saud Al-Nasser Al-Sabah Diplomatic Institute in Kuwait, the British secretary emphasized the historic and robust relationship between the UK and Kuwait. He pointed out that the two countries enjoy a “deep close friendship” that goes back more than a century.
He added that the bilateral relationship is built on strong people-to-people and cultural ties, as well as a solid partnership in defense and security that dates back to 1899, when official relations were established and laid the foundation for long-term cooperation and friendship. Lammy highlighted the strong educational and cultural links between the two nations, stressing that the presence of 10,000 Kuwaiti students in UK universities forms a strong basis for the future of the relationship.
Lammy explained that his visit falls within the framework of the strategic dialogue between the two countries, which aims to outline the next phase of bilateral cooperation. He noted the UK’s strong economic standing in Europe and Kuwait’s prominent role in the Gulf and the Middle East, saying that this partnership enables both nations to achieve significant progress together. He also noted that the visit comes at a time of serious geopolitical challenges and humanitarian suffering around the world.
Lammy emphasized both countries’ commitment to working together to alleviate the suffering of civilians in Gaza, underlining their joint efforts to push for a ceasefire and continued collaboration on humanitarian matters. Lammy added that UK-Kuwait cooperation also contributes to addressing other global crises in countries such as Sudan, Somalia and Yemen, where diseases and humanitarian emergencies are widespread.
Lammy expressed his satisfaction with the signing of memoranda of understanding, which unify resources and development visions, not only for the benefit of both countries, but also for children, women and all those suffering worldwide. He also pointed out that the UK has recently launched a new industrial strategy that outlines the government’s investment priorities, noting that there are promising opportunities for cooperation with Kuwait in sectors such as defense, space, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, life sciences and sustainable and renewable energy, all of which can contribute significantly to both economies. – KUNA
