Meanwhile, Bahrain has reportedly shown interest in expanding defense cooperation with Pakistan, while Jordan is exploring agreements related to Pakistani defense equipment and military training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reuters noted that ongoing regional tensions between the United States and Iran could temporarily affect the pace of Pakistan-Kuwait defense negotiations. However, progress is expected to accelerate if tensions between Washington and Tehran ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pakistan and Kuwait have maintained a limited defense cooperation agreement since 2023, focusing on military training and joint exercises. Kuwait is now looking to expand that framework into a broader strategic defense partnership similar to Pakistan&#8217;s defense cooperation model with Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Islamabad\/Riyadh: Kuwait is seeking to expand its defense cooperation with Pakistan as the two countries hold preliminary discussions on a broader defense agreement linked to energy cooperation and investment, according&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5846,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[2533,35],"class_list":["post-5845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-world","tag-pak-kuwait-defence-agreement","tag-pakistan"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.0 -
