KUWAIT: Representative of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, has called the international community to recommit themselves to the principles of international peace and security and the provisions of the international laws and conventions, and to deal with each other on equal terms and do away with double standards.

His Highness the Crown Prince made his remarks during a speech on the Summit of the Future at the UN Headquarters in New York. “The ongoing genocide in Palestine, which claimed more than 41,000 lives so far, mainly women and children, is a stark reminder of the inability of the UN Security Council to halt the aggression. This is a regrettable, stark example of suing double standards in the implementation of international law, which should have no room in our future; otherwise, the world order could degenerate into jungle law,” he cautioned.

The Zionist occupation forces have been destroying hospitals, schools, residential areas, and refugee camps since the start of the aggression. The death toll from the ongoing occupation aggression on the Gaza Strip since October 7th has risen to 41,431 Palestinians and wounded, 95,818.

Fair UN representation

His Highness The Crown Prince shared the UN Secretary-General’s view that it was impossible to build a future for our grandchildren through a system built for our ancestors. “We are required to take care of the future of the young generation and work to introduce substantive changes to the world economic governance system, including the financial safety networks and the international customs cooperation; overhauling the multinational development banks; and addressing the sovereign debt problem,” he argued.

“Since its independence in 1961, Kuwait has been keen on promoting development in the developing and least developed countries through the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development,” he said, noting that KFAED offered up to 1,073 grants and soft loans to 105 countries. His Highness the Crown Prince added that Kuwait has made tangible successes in the implementation of the national development plan and Kuwait Vision 2035 and the realization of the goals set forth in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including those related to the eradication of poverty and hunger and the provision of quality education for all. — KUNA
