The Department of Foreign Affairs announced today that the Amir of the State of Kuwait, His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, will undertake a state visit to the Philippines on March 23–27, upon the invitation of President Benigno S. Aquino III.
The Amir is scheduled to meet with President Aquino to discuss ways to further enhance the rapidly growing relations between the two countries. The Amir and his delegation will also meet with key Philippine government officials.
“His Highness the Amir’s visit reaffirms the commitment of the Philippines and Kuwait to reinforce ties and strengthen cooperation between our countries. I am certain that the visit will be fruitful and mutually beneficial in all areas of cooperation especially in the fields of labor, trade, and investment,” Foreign Affairs Secretary Albert F. del Rosario said.
The State of Kuwait is among the Philippines’ leading investment and development partners in the Middle East. Kuwaiti investments in the Philippines include Gateway Logistics City, a 177-hectare aviation-oriented logistics and business center located in Clark Freeport, Pampanga. Kuwait is also host to around 130,000 overseas Filipino workers working in the country.
