NEW DELHI:

Addressing a gathering of the Indian community at the "Hala Modi" event at Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah indoor sports complex in Kuwait, Modi said the age-old ties between the two countries should serve as the foundation for creating a futuristic partnership.

Modi noted that he was first Indian premier to visit Kuwait in 43 years.
