Prime Minister Narendra Modi was awarded Kuwait’s prestigious Order of Mubarak Al-Kabeer on Sunday, marking the 20th international accolade conferred upon him by a nation.
The Order of Mubarak Al-Kabeer, Kuwait’s highest knighthood, is reserved for Heads of State, foreign sovereigns, and members of royal families as a symbol of friendship and goodwill.
Expressing his gratitude, PM Modi shared on X, “I am honoured to be conferred the Mubarak Al-Kabeer Order by His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah. I dedicate this honour to the people of India and to the strong friendship between India and Kuwait.”
