The 14th session of the Kuwait-Egypt Joint Commission, held in Kuwait on Sunday, concluded with the signing of eight cooperation agreements covering economic, educational, cultural, and artistic fields, as well as civil aviation, vocational training, and customs affairs. The signing took place under the chairmanship of Kuwait’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Jaraah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, and Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Head of the Egyptian Expatriates Affairs, Dr. Badr Abdelatty, with the attendance of senior officials from both sides.
In his address, Kuwait’s Foreign Minister Sheikh Jaraah Al-Jaber noted that this year marks the 65th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries, building on a solid historical foundation, continuous civilizational and cultural ties, and political and economic cooperation that continues to record chapters of close and constructive collaboration, serving as a model for international cooperation.
He added that Kuwait regards the Arab Republic of Egypt as a vital and effective element in joint Arab efforts and a cornerstone of regional security and stability. Kuwait appreciates Egypt’s arduous efforts, coordinated with its brothers and friends, particularly its initiatives to overcome current challenges by prioritizing dialogue and finding diplomatic and humanitarian solutions to regional issues, especially the crisis that has affected all countries in the region since February last year.
He reaffirmed his appreciation for Egypt’s steadfast stance in standing alongside and showing solidarity with its brothers against unjust aggression, while also commending Egypt’s active role regarding the situation in the Gaza Strip, the Republic of Sudan, and the State of Libya, describing Egypt’s continuous contributions to Arab and Islamic work as an unceasing flow like the Nile.
