ShareKUWAIT: Saud Al-Nasser Al-Sabah Kuwaiti Diplomatic Institute, an affiliate of the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs, organized on Tuesday a symposium entitled “Kuwait’s Position on the Palestinian Issue.” The event is part of the ministry’s training cultural season, with several representatives of embassies and different agencies attending. Dr Mohammad Al-Rumaihi, a professor of political science at Kuwait University, said Kuwait is an integral part of Arab culture, and that’s why it has always been active in healing up Arab or Gulf rifts.
Economically, he cited the establishment of the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED), which serves more than 100 countries and offers huge aid to needy countries. Politically, he stressed Kuwait’s enduring support for the Palestinian people and their cause since the beginning of their crisis, but he called for Palestinian unity as very necessary.
For his part, Chairman of Sheikh Abdullah Al-Nouri Charity Society Jamal Al-Nouri addressed the symposium by elaborating Kuwait’s history of relief and humanitarian aid provided by official and unofficial agencies to the Palestinian people.
He added that the Palestinian people need urgent medical aid as 53 hospitals have been destroyed, regretting that more than 25,000 Palestinians have been killed since the Zionist occupation started the aggression on Palestinians on October 7. He estimated that a total of 8,900 trucks carrying relief aid to Palestinians have entered Gaza since January 20. — KUNA
