The National Conference, themed “From Kuwait We Begin, and to Kuwait We Conclude,” announced the launch of its 26th edition on November 10, honoring 13 national figures who gave their all for the elevation and progress of Kuwait. Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Yusuf Al-Yasin, head of the Supreme Supervisory Committee for the Conference, said that the conference’s message, objectives, goals, and value are derived from the customs and traditions of Kuwait’s cohesive, united, and closely knit society. He emphasized that since its inception in its first edition, the National Conference has upheld national, human, and social values, particularly those that strengthen the bonds among Kuwaitis, unite them, and prevent division.
Al-Yasin added that the slogan of the current edition is drawn from a statement by His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad: “Loyal people of Kuwait, you alone are the strongest weapon for preserving our beloved homeland through your firm unity and high spirit. National unity is a shield that protects Kuwait and its citizens, and a fortress for confronting hardships and challenges.” He stressed the importance of moderation and avoiding extremism in dealing with matters, in accordance with the teachings of our moderate and sincere Islamic faith, and in adherence to our authentic and venerable Kuwaiti traditions rooted in the legacy of our fathers and forefathers.
He noted that the current edition will honor Fawzi Al-Saleh, Abdulrahman Al-Mutairi, Najib Al-Mulla, Saud Al-Rabiea, Ahmed Al-Arabid, Hamza Hussein, Zaid Al-Zaid, Abdulaziz Al-Khalifa, Ali Al-Mu’min, Emad Al-Atiqi, Saeed Al-Hajeri, Yousef Al-Munaifi, and Abdulmohsen Al-Othman, may God have mercy on them all.
Al-Yasin clarified that a documentary film highlighting the virtues and achievements of the honored figures will be screened during the conference, alongside a patriotic musical opera and keynote speeches by lawyer Kowthar Al-Jouman titled “Security Is the Citizen’s Responsibility” and by Dr. Abdullah Al-Sharika, Director of the Center for Promoting Moderation.
He added that the Supreme Supervisory Committee members had previously organized 25 National Conferences under the theme “From Kuwait We Begin… and to Kuwait We Conclude,” during which approximately 283 Kuwaiti figures from various segments of Kuwaiti society were honored.
