Kuwait’s Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah left for China on Wednesday for an official visit that will likely include a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping (the Foreign Ministry has to confirm whether it will happen).

The focus of the Crown Prince’s visit, according to Kuwaiti media reports, will be on signing a number of unspecified deals that are part of Sheikh Meshal’s plan to transition the emirate’s oil- dependent economy to include more diversified post-carbon industries.
