Kuwaiti Defence Delegation Meets CDF Munir, Discusses Regional Security: ISPR
The two sides signed a new defence agreement that expands military training, deployment and institutional links, officials said.
- On Thursday, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif and Kuwaiti Defense Minister Sheikh Abdullah Ali Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah signed the "Protocol Agreement-2026" in Rawalpindi, significantly enhancing a military cooperation framework in place since 2023.
- Post-Conflict security reassessments prompted this move, as the US-Iran war exposed vulnerabilities in the Gulf's traditional reliance on the United States for security.
- Expanding institutional links, Pakistan Armed Forces will help train Kuwait's military, build defense capacity, and assist with border management, reflecting the longstanding "Brotherly relations" between the two countries.
- The protocol provides an implementation mechanism for the existing 2023 Agreement for Defence Cooperation, though officials clarified it does not constitute an Article 5-style collective defense commitment.
- This engagement helps Gulf states diversify security partnerships amid a fragmented Middle Eastern landscape, with potential returns for Pakistan including subsidized energy supplies or increased visas for the about 95,000 Pakistanis currently in Kuwait.
