Riyadh – Foreign Minister Sheikh Jaraah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah met today, Wednesday, with the Foreign Minister of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Prince Faisal bin Farhan, during his official visit to the Saudi capital, Riyadh. During the meeting, and according to a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Jaraah Al-Sabah reiterated the State of Kuwait’s strong condemnation and rejection of the terrorist attacks carried out by the Houthi militia against several areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as their attempts to target the holy cities of Mecca and Medina. He emphasized that these heinous attacks constitute a blatant violation of the Kingdom’s sovereignty, a flagrant breach of international law and international humanitarian law, a clear infringement on the sanctity of Islamic holy sites and their religious status, and a provocation of the feelings of Muslims around the world. He stressed that the continuation and recurrence of these organized hostile acts, which involve targeting civilian objects and vital facilities, represent a serious escalation and a direct threat to the security of the Kingdom and the stability of the region, as well as posing serious risks to the safety of civilians and the security of air navigation. This necessitates a firm international stance that ensures accountability and punishment for those responsible for these attacks. He reaffirmed Kuwait’s absolute solidarity with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its support for all measures taken by the Kingdom to safeguard its sovereignty, protect its security, and maintain its stability, emphasizing that the security of the Kingdom is an integral part of the security of the State of Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The two sides also reviewed during the meeting the deep-rooted historical ties and the strong fraternal relations between the two countries and their peoples, and affirmed their shared commitment to continuing to enhance bilateral cooperation and coordination frameworks across various fields and at all levels, in line with the directives of the wise leaderships of both countries and in response to their aspirations for greater integration and joint cooperation. The meeting also addressed the latest regional developments and their repercussions on the security and stability of the region, where both sides emphasized the importance of continuing Kuwaiti-Saudi consultations and coordination on various fronts and intensifying joint efforts to confront current challenges amid the delicate circumstances the region is experiencing, driven by shared destiny and common interests, and the two fraternal countries’ commitment to consolidating the foundations of regional security and stability.
