ISLAMABAD, May 02 (APP):Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Friday took the Kuwait Ambassador into confidence on Pakistan’s perspective with regard to recent developments in South Asia since Pahalgam incident.
Ambassador of the State of Kuwait, Nasser Abdulrahman Jasser called on the Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif here at the PM House.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister conveyed his warm wishes to Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Amir of the State of Kuwait.

The Prime Minister said that he keenly looked forward to the visit of Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, Crown Prince of Kuwait, at the earliest possible.
Stressing that Pakistan condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, he said the country had suffered more than 90,000 casualties and over USD 152 billion in economic losses over the years, in its war against terrorism.
