Prime Minister Narendra Modi was awarded the ‘Order of Mubarak Al Kabeer’, the highest honour in Kuwait, by his Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Ahmed Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah Sunday. This is the 20th international honour bestowed on Modi.
The Order of Mubarak Al Kabeer is a Kuwaiti knighthood awarded to Heads of State, foreign sovereigns, and members of foreign royal families as a symbol of friendship.
Modi kicked off his two-day Kuwait visit on Saturday with a visit to an Indian labour camp, with an aim to show solidarity with the Indian labour force employed in the country. The PM, who was invited by the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, also held bilateral talks with the Emir, and Crown Prince Sabah Al-Khalid Al-Sabah, besides an interaction with the Indian diaspora.
The ‘Order of Mubarak Al Kabeer’ has been previously awarded to foreign leaders like Bill Clinton, Prince Charles and George Bush.
