Why Was India’s Relationship with Kuwait Neglected?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. India did not engage closely with Kuwait after Saddam Hussein’s invasion in 1990, due to India’s geopolitical alignments and sympathies at the time.<\/li>\n
  2. This caused a strain in relations as Kuwait felt India was ambivalent about the violation of its sovereignty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How Did Kuwait Rebuild Relations with India?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Despite past differences, Kuwait reopened its economy to Indian workers across sectors.<\/li>\n
    2. Indians became the largest expatriate group in Kuwait.<\/li>\n
    3. Kuwait has become a key source of foreign investment, with 89% of total FDI from GCC countries received in the last decade.<\/li>\n
    4. Kuwait facilitated diaspora interactions and respected India\u2019s cultural sensitivities, strengthening ties further.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      What is the Broader Context of India\u2019s Gulf Relations?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
        \n
      1. India strengthened ties with moderate Arab states, supported by PM Modi\u2019s visits.<\/li>\n
      2. India played a role in the Abraham Accords and has stakes in Gulf stability.<\/li>\n
      3. The current Israel-Palestine conflict and Gulf instability make these ties crucial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        What Steps Should India Take?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
          \n
        1. Operationalise defence and security agreements with Kuwait.<\/li>\n
        2. Create a business-friendly environment to attract Gulf investments, especially Sovereign Funds.<\/li>\n
        3. Recognise Kuwait\u2019s support for the Indian diaspora and respect for cultural sensitivities.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
