Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during his historic visit to Kuwait, met 101-year-old former Indian Foreign Service (IFS) officer Mangal Sain Handa. The meeting followed a heartfelt request from Handa’s granddaughter on social media platform X, expressing her grandfather's admiration for the PM. Modi responded promptly, making the visit during an interaction with the Indian diaspora. Handa's family described the meeting as a “lifetime experience.” This marks the first visit by an Indian PM to Kuwait in 43 years, focusing on strengthening ties in trade, energy, and regional security. The Indian community constitutes 21% of Kuwait's population.
