Chaired by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in Islamabad, the cabinet endorsed the June 2023 pact after Kuwait’s earlier ratification, covering manufacturing, exercises and information security.
The federal cabinet on Wednesday ratified a Pakistan-Kuwait defence cooperation agreement, according to the Prime Minister’s Office.
The pact was signed on June 11, 2023; Kuwait had already ratified it on July 19.
It covers military manufacturing, electronic communications, research, military media, and cultural and sports activities.
A joint military committee will oversee exercises, visits and other programmes; the deal runs five years with automatic renewal unless ended.
