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.”
The award has previously been bestowed upon notable global leaders, including former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton and George Bush, as well as the UK’s King Charles III (then Prince Charles).
This honour follows closely after PM Modi received Guyana’s highest national award, ‘The Order of Excellence’, during his visit to the South American nation last month.
During the ceremony, Guyana’s President Irfaan Ali highlighted the strong bilateral ties between the two nations. In response, PM Modi expressed his gratitude, stating, “I express my heartfelt gratitude to my friend President Irfaan Ali for conferring upon me Guyana’s highest award. This is a living proof of your deep commitment to our relations which will continue to inspire us to move forward in every field.”
