Dr. Mohammed Al-Hajjri, Kuwait’s Ambassador to Japan, presented his credentials as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the State of Kuwait to Japan during a meeting with Mr. Keiichi Hara, Chief of Protocol at the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the ministry’s headquarters in Tokyo.

In a press statement, the Kuwaiti Embassy in Japan said that Ambassador Al-Hajjri emphasized the depth of Kuwait-Japan relations during the meeting.

He noted that the current year marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, a milestone that saw a qualitative leap with their elevation to a comprehensive strategic partnership during the historic visit of His Highness the Crown Prince, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled, to Japan in May 2025.

He also referred to the recent visit of Kuwait’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Jaraah Jaber Al-Ahmad, to Japan in 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-Hajjri, praising his diplomatic expertise and affirming that, for Japan, Kuwait represents a reliable and friendly partner, not merely a key energy supplier.

The statement conveyed Ambassador Hara’s aspiration to continue strengthening bilateral relations and increasing the frequency of high-level visits and communications between the two countries.
