Pakistan and Kuwait are negotiating an expanded defense pact in exchange for energy cooperation.

Islamabad and Kuwait City are engaged in discussions to expand their bilateral defense agreement in exchange for energy cooperation and Kuwaiti investment. The negotiations are still in their early stages, according to five sources familiar with the matter.

Pakistan is seeking to deepen its military ties with Kuwait through talks that include reciprocal energy and investment agreements. Five sources familiar with the discussions confirmed the existence of these negotiations, while emphasizing their preliminary nature.

One of these sources warned that heightened tensions between the United States and Iran could complicate progress in the discussions. The regional context therefore remains a factor likely to influence the outcome of the negotiations.

No timetable or details on the precise nature of the envisaged military engagements have been made public at this stage.
