The release from the minister FB page:
Saya selamat tiba di Kuwait, dalam rangka lawatan kerja rasmi.
Ketibaan di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuwait petang tadi (Ahad, 6 Oktober 2024 waktu tempatan) disambut oleh Tuan Yang Terutama ‘Alauddin Mohd Nor, Duta Besar Malaysia ke Kuwait dan juga Leftenan Jeneral Bandar Salem Abdullah Al-Muzayan, Ketua Staf Angkatan Tentera Kuwait.
Semasa berada di sini, saya akan bertemu dengan Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, Perdana Menteri Kuwait; selain akan bertemu dengan rakan sejawat saya Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah yang juga merupakan Timbalan Perdana Menteri dan Menteri Dalam Negeri Kuwait.
Di samping itu, saya juga akan mengadakan lawatan ke Pangkalan Udara Ahmad Al-Jaber milik Tentera Udara Kuwait.
Delegasi Malaysia turut disertai Jeneral Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Mohd Asghar Khan Goriman Khan, Panglima Tentera Udara, Encik Mohd Yani Daud, Timbalan Ketua Setiausaha (Dasar), Kementerian Pertahanan Malaysia bersama pegawai-pegawai kanan Kementerian Pertahanan dan Markas Tentera Udara Malaysia.
As mentioned in the release, Khaled stated that he and his delegation will be visiting the Ahmad Al-Jaber of the Kuwaiti Air Force. This means that the visit is in connection with the Malaysian proposal to buy Kuwaiti Air Force legacy Hornet fleet.
One wonders whether the Kuwaiti Hornets was more important than buying the 12 CSAR helicopters which was funded by the 2024 budget that RMAF opted to get leased AW149s instead. My guess is as good as yours.
