His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday received a letter from Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah that focused on bilateral relations and regional developments.

Abdul Rahman Ateeqi, an adviser to the emir, delivered the letter during a meeting with King Abdullah, who said Jordan is keen to strengthen relations with Kuwait.

According to the Jordan Investment Board, Kuwaiti investments in Jordan amount to $6 billion, representing 75 per cent of total foreign investments in the Kingdom.

King Abdullah expressed his pride in the distinguished relations between Jordan and Kuwait, and commended the emir for his efforts to build Arab consensus on current challenges.

Ateeqi's visit followed a trip three weeks ago by Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, who held talks with the King on Middle East issues and means to enhance bilateral ties.
