RIYADH: The chief of the Kuwait army, Lieutenant General Bandar Al-Muzain, on Wednesday praised the “professional” techniques employed by a Saudi-led Islamic alliance to fight terrorism, saying such methods are instrumental in keeping at bay the threats of extremist groups.

Amid his visit to the headquarters of the Islamic Military Counter Terrorism Coalition, the Kuwaiti army chief was briefed on the latest endeavors the military body has taken, which include research and studies that aim to push forward the fight against terrorism.

Acknowledging Kuwait’s contributions towards counterterrorism efforts, the pan-Islamic coalition’s secretary general, Major General Mohammad Al-Moghedi, said these Kuwaiti initiatives have given impetus to global anti-terrorism operations. — KUNA
