Tokyo, Oct 8 (KUNA) -- Kuwait’s Ambassador to Japan, Dr. Mohammed Al-Hajjari, presented his credentials as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Kuwait to Japan during a meeting on Wednesday with Keiichi Hara, Director of Protocol at the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the ministry’s headquarters in the capital, Tokyo.
In a statement received by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Thursday, the Kuwaiti Embassy in Japan said that Ambassador Al-Hajjari emphasized the deep Kuwaiti-Japanese relations during the meeting. He noted that the current year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, which witnessed a qualitative leap by rising to the level of a comprehensive strategic partnership during the historic visit of His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, to Japan in May 2025.
He also referred to the recent visit of Kuwait’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Jaraah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, to Japan last August, and the clear objectives that emerged from it to enhance bilateral cooperation, affirming his commitment to continuing work with the Japanese side to translate these directions into practical steps across various fields.
For his part, Ambassador Hara welcomed Ambassador Al-Hajjari, praising his diplomatic expertise and affirming that Kuwait represents a reliable partner and friend to Japan, not merely a key energy supplier. The statement quoted Ambassador Hara expressing his anticipation of further strengthening bilateral relations and increasing the frequency of high-level visits and communications between the two countries.
