Unlike other Gulf states, Kuwait has an influential parliament while most power remains with the royal family. While lawmakers have powers their regular battles with the government causes repeat crises.
Kuwait remains a reliable supplier of crude oil & LPG to India, meeting our crucial energy needs. During FY 2023-24, Kuwait was the 6th largest crude supplier to India and it met about 3% of India’s total energy needs.
