Osama Diab: The Acting Chargé d’Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait, Stephen R. Butler, emphasized the United States’ commitment to continuing to strengthen its strategic partnership with Kuwait, stressing that the two countries stand side by side to defend Kuwait’s security and sovereignty. He noted that bilateral relations transcend diplomatic frameworks, embodying a deep-rooted friendship and an enduring partnership based on trust, cooperation, and joint efforts to address common challenges.
Butler made these remarks during a press briefing on the sidelines of a reception hosted by the U.S. Embassy to mark the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The event was attended by Foreign Minister Sheikh Jara Al-Jaber, several ambassadors, members of the diplomatic corps, and representatives of companies and brands. Butler stated that the celebration, held under the theme “Freedom 250,” coincides with the 65th anniversary of the establishment of Kuwait-U.S. diplomatic relations in 1961, while the roots of ties between the two peoples date back to 1911, with the founding of the American Missionary Hospital in Kuwait, which marked one of the early milestones in the history of bilateral relations.
