The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a press statement that the call discussed the latest regional developments and underscored the importance of continuing coordination and consultation between the two countries, in a manner that contributes to supporting and enhancing joint efforts to achieve security and stability in the region.
On another note, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed Kuwait’s condemnation of the Republic of Colombia’s opening of its embassy in occupied Jerusalem, in a blatant violation of international law and relevant resolutions of the United Nations. The Ministry reaffirmed Kuwait’s firm rejection of this step and of all practices aimed at altering the legal and historical status quo in occupied Jerusalem, calling on the international community and the Security Council to uphold their responsibilities in countering any attempts to impose a new reality in the occupied Palestinian territories. It reiterated Kuwait’s steadfast and supportive position toward the Palestinian cause and the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among which is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
