India is hopeful of finding an amicable solution with Kuwait to the impasse over work visa which has prevented hundreds of Indians from taking up jobs in that country, Minister of State for External Affairs E Ahamed has said.
The Kuwait embassy in New Delhi and the consulate in Mumbai stopped stamping work visas for Indians from December 20 after Indian authorities introduced new employment conditions to protect its nationals working abroad which were rejected by Kuwait.
"I shall be raising the issue in my discussion with Kuwaiti dignitaries and I am confident that a mutually agreed text of contract will emerge," the minister said
