Kuwait Announces a Joint Defence Cooperation Agreement with Pakistan

I'm more interested in economic benefits for Pakistan. Like number of visas and investments in Pakistan.

Looks like old news.

Kuwaitis only removed ban on Pakistani visas in June 2025. And now this. That 2023 was just a paper thing that was not going anywhere till Pakistan humiliated India in May 2025.

Although this is a cooperation agreement, I agree there needs to be benefit for Pak which will make the country stronger. So lets see what details emerge.

At this rate, Pakistan is just couple weeks away from signing defense agreements with individual celebrities. Don’t be shocked to see a headline saying “ Ronaldinho signs a defense agreement with Pakistan” one of these days.

Pakistan is going to overpromise and under deliver simply because it can’t put its money where its mouth is. The country is economically too fragile and internally unstable to offer any meaningful shield to any Arab country. But these sorts of agreements seem to be the flavor of the month & hopefully we move to another trend soon.

its a paid service not charity

Kuwait is in a pretty bad shape. Apart from concurrent destruction of US bases and infrastructure, several desalination plants have been totaled. Water shortage is imminent.

Sympathy level = -100 from me!

They deserve all they are getting right now. Shocking that they think their land can be used to launch HIMARS and ATACMS missiles into Iran, killing Iranians and not suffer the consequences for it.

What changes do there need to be in Kuwait first and its foreign policy before Pakistan considers any defense treaty? Does Pakistan really want to be on the hook to "defend" Kuwait while it allows its territory to be used to bomb Iran ?!?!

someone in pakistani team must tell these racist Arabs to stop deporting pakistanis and treat them at least half as good as indians as part of these defence deals against Iran.
but then again, pakistani elites in these discussions and racist GCC Arabs have one thing in common, and that is the hatred for ordinary Pakistani labour. so there may not be any requests to go easy on Pakistanis.

Our own people share the responsibility for these sanctions. Having lived and worked in the GCC for 15 years I would not trust a fellow Pakistani in business or professional dealings. Statistically, our community is disproportionately linked to crime here. While the racism from certain Arab nationalities (such as Lebanese, Syrian, Egyptian, and Jordanian) toward other Asians is real and undeniable
