Federal cabinet ratifies Pakistan-Kuwait defence cooperation agreement
The pact will remain in force for five years and will be automatically renewed unless either side decides to terminate it. It also commits both countries to protecting confidential military information and resolving any disputes arising from the agreement through diplomatic channels.
The agreement was finalised in June 2023, while the Kuwaiti government had already ratified it on July 19.
KP governor to oversee administrative affairs
The federal cabinet also approved the transfer of powers delegated to the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister to the provincial governor for conducting day-to-day affairs during the period of emergency in the province.
The move aims to facilitate the smooth handling of administrative matters and further improve governance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to a press statement.
Under the arrangement, the governor will submit a monthly review report to the federal government regarding the exercise of the transferred powers.
