The Ministry reaffirmed Kuwait’s absolute solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its steadfast support, and its backing of all measures undertaken by the Kingdom to safeguard its security and stability and to protect its citizens and residents on its territory. It underscored that the security of the Kingdom is an integral part of the security of the State of Kuwait and the security of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
The Ministry also conveyed Kuwait’s sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, its leadership, government, and people, as well as to the governments and peoples of the countries to which the victims belong, and to their families and loved ones. It expressed its wishes for the swift recovery of the injured.
The Ministry called upon the international community to fulfill its responsibilities and adopt a firm stance against these repeated attacks, ensuring the protection of civilian objects and civil aviation infrastructure, preventing their recurrence in the future, and guaranteeing that perpetrators do not escape punishment.
