NEW DELHI, Oct 21, (KUNA): Kuwait Ambassador to India Fahad Ahmad Al-Awadi urged Thursday to intensify trade and investment between India and Kuwait while addressing a symposium in the leading international school at the Jawahrlal Nehru University in New Delhi.

Ambassador Al-Awadi told a gathering of students, professors, former civil servants, and political observers that the India-Kuwait relation has witnessed tremendous improvement in the last few years as the Kuwaiti investment made through the Kuwait Investment Authority witnessed exponential rise. He added that the related authorities are continuously working to further improve such economic relations.
