Kuwait reaffirms support for Palestinians at ‘peace forum’
CAIRO, Feb 20, (KUNA): Kuwait’s Information Minister Abdulrahman Al-Mutairi on Tuesday underlined his country’s broad support for the Palestinians, saying that such backing would remain firm and unwavering.
“We reiterate Kuwait’s firm stance in its support for the Palestinians across regional and international levels,” the Kuwaiti minister told an Egypt-hosted international forum on peace, sponsored by President Abdulfattah El-Sisi, emphasizing that such support would persist until Palestinian statehood aspirations come to fruition.
He deplored the “transgressions” committed by Israeli forces against the Palestinian people, urging the international community to intervene and put an end to the violence, saying that his ministry showcases support for the Palestinians through the myriad of platforms at its disposal.
On the objective for the gathering, the Kuwaiti minister said it aims to promote the principle of peace towards national development and prosperity, citing Kuwait’s UN-bestowed moniker of “humanitarian center” in recognition of its commitment to “enhancing peace” on a global level.
He went on to speak of Kuwait’s unflinching belief in the notion of peace, which includes, but is not limited to, cultural pluralism and co-existence, pointing out that such factors are often inextricably linked to development and prosperity.
The two-day gathering in the Egyptian capital brings together heads of state and prominent lawmakers from around the region, in addition to renowned politicians and journalists alike.
AMMAN, Feb 20, (KUNA): Kuwait and Jordan enjoy “deep” bilateral relations across various fields, while military ties have seen the most notable growth, said a Kuwaiti military official on Monday.
More military cooperation between Kuwait and Amman has paved the way for progress in relations, Kuwaiti National Guard Major General Dr. Faleh Shujaa said in a statement after putting his signature on a bilateral military deal with Amman.
The military pact with the Hashemite Kingdom, which dates back to 2017, comprises numerous joint military drills and training courses, which allow the militaries of both nations the chance to exchange their know-how with one another, he said.
Ahead of joint military committee talks slated for Kuwait early next year, he said such gatherings are instrumental in propelling relations to greater levels.
