Kuwait’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Sabah Nasser Al-Sabah Al-Sabah, affirmed on Wednesday that Kuwaiti-Saudi relations offer a unique model of a shared destiny forged by history and cemented by steadfast positions, with the leaderships of both countries continuing to build upon this foundation to enhance their security, stability, and prosperity.
In a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on the occasion of Saudi Arabia’s National Day, Ambassador Al-Sabah noted that historical records bear firm evidence of the depth of this relationship, pointing out that the Founding King, Abdulaziz bin Abdulrahman Al Saud, launched his historic campaign to reclaim Riyadh from Kuwait, marking the beginning of the process of unifying the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
He added that history echoed the same meaning decades later, when the late Kuwaiti Emir, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, returned to Kuwait from Saudi Arabia following the liberation of Kuwait from the brutal Iraqi invasion in 1991.
He clarified that these two milestones encapsulate the uniqueness of the relationship between the two countries, highlighting a firm reality that the security and destiny of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are one, and that what binds them transcends geographical boundaries to include historical, social ties, and shared interests inherited through generations.
He noted that the Kingdom’s celebration of its National Day is a cherished occasion for the State of Kuwait and its people, given the Kingdom’s profound historical and strategic significance to Kuwait, commending the comprehensive developmental renaissance and rapid achievements witnessed across various fields.
Ambassador Al-Sabah pointed out that this year’s Saudi National Day holds a special character, particularly as it coincides with the launch of Gulf Cup 27 in the Kingdom, where Gulf citizens celebrate both the Gulf sports event and Saudi National Day simultaneously.
On this occasion, he extended his highest congratulations to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz, Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman, and to the government and people of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, wishing the Kingdom continued security, stability, progress, and prosperity, and further development and growth for Kuwaiti-Saudi relations.
