A stronger future with our French friends
Last week, His Highness the Amir of the State of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, made an official visit to France, underscoring the depth of the long-standing relationship between the two nations. The visit, which coincided with France's National Day celebrations, carried both symbolic weight and practical outcomes, reaffirming Kuwait's strong and trusted ties with France. A highlight of the visit was the signing of two important declarations of intent between the State of Kuwait and the French Republic. These agreements reflect a shared vision for deepened cooperation and set the tone for the next phase of bilateral engagement. The first declaration focused on the Strategic Investment Partnership for 2025–2035, a forward-looking framework aimed at enhancing economic collaboration and identifying key sectors for joint investment and long-term growth. This agreement is expected to pave the way for closer cooperation in areas such as infrastructure, innovation, energy, and other sectors of mutual interest. The second declaration was centered on strengthening cooperation in the cultural field, with a special focus on commemorating the upcoming 65th anniversary of Kuwaiti-French diplomatic relations in 2026. Culture has long served as a bridge between Kuwait and France, and this declaration reaffirms both nations' commitment to promoting dialogue, artistic exchange, and heritage preservation. Both declarations were officially signed by Kuwait's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Abdullah Al- Yahya, and France's Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barrot, during the Amir's visit. The ceremony was a moment of mutual respect and shared ambition, reflecting the enduring spirit of collaboration that has defined Kuwaiti-French relations since their establishment in 1961. The visit also included high-level discussions between His Highness the Amir and French President Emmanuel Macron, as well as other senior French officials. The engagements underscored the strength and continuity of the Kuwaiti-French relationship, which has been built on decades of trust, cooperation, and mutual understanding. As both nations look to the future, these declarations of intent offer a clear roadmap for cooperation and mutual benefit. They serve not just as diplomatic milestones, but as a reminder of what can be achieved through shared values, visions, and a commitment to long-term partnership.
