The Kuwaiti Ambassador to New Delhi, Meshal Al-Shammari, affirmed that volunteers from Kuwait and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries exemplify a distinguished model of coordination and joint cooperation in humanitarian work through the implementation of various relief projects and initiatives in India.
In a statement received by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on Saturday, the Kuwaiti Embassy in India noted that these remarks were made during a meeting held by Ambassador Al-Shammari with a delegation from Namaa Charity, part of the Al-Islah Social Association, led by Khaled Al-Shammari, head of the Programs and Initiatives Sector, alongside the Sahabat Amal Volunteer Team. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the delegation’s visit to India to carry out several joint humanitarian projects and initiatives.
Ambassador Al-Shammari expressed his appreciation for the efforts undertaken by institutions and volunteer teams in the charitable and humanitarian fields, praising the delegation’s presence—which included participants from Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia—as a shining example of joint GCC cooperation in the fields of giving and human service.
He emphasized that charitable and humanitarian work represents a deeply rooted value in Kuwaiti society, reflecting the innate Kuwaiti love for goodness and readiness to assist those in need. He noted that humanitarian initiatives remain among the most important means of strengthening ties between peoples and building bridges of love and cooperation.
Al-Shammari stated that Kuwait has historically been known for its support of humanitarian work, and that Kuwaiti charitable institutions have become active partners in providing aid and implementing projects aimed at improving human lives in many communities. He stressed the importance of continuing this mission within organized frameworks to achieve the greatest possible impact for beneficiaries.
He added that the implementation of humanitarian projects by Namaa Charity and volunteer teams highlights the importance of partnership between charitable institutions and volunteers, noting that field work adds value to humanitarian initiatives by enabling direct identification of community needs and addressing them according to actual priorities.
He commended the presence of the Sahabat Amal Volunteer Team and their participation in implementing projects alongside Namaa Charity, considering the involvement of participants from Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia as a beautiful example of joint GCC cooperation in humanitarian work. This, he said, confirms that values of goodness and giving transcend borders and unite Gulf citizens around a single humanitarian goal.
The ambassador appreciated the efforts of team members and their commitment to field presence and project implementation with sincere volunteer spirit, praising the team for embodying a positive model of Gulf youth serving humanity and reinforcing values of solidarity and giving.
The Kuwaiti Embassy in India also expressed its welcome for such initiatives, which reflect the bright face of Kuwait and the people of the Gulf countries in the field of humanitarian work.
For his part, Khaled Al-Shammari, head of the Programs and Initiatives Sector at Namaa Charity under the Al-Islah Social Association, affirmed that this meeting represents important moral support for the humanitarian efforts undertaken by institutions and volunteer teams to serve beneficiaries.
Al-Shammari said the delegation’s visit to India is part of the implementation of several humanitarian projects in partnership between Namaa Charity and the Sahabat Amal Volunteer Team, noting that such partnerships reflect Namaa’s commitment to expanding its cooperation network with teams and institutions sharing a common humanitarian mission, thereby contributing to reaching beneficiaries and achieving greater impact.
He pointed out that the participation of volunteers from Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia in this journey carries an important Gulf and humanitarian message: that charitable work unites peoples around values of mercy, solidarity, and giving, and that the needy individual is the focal point of these efforts, regardless of borders and geography.
He confirmed that Namaa Charity will continue to implement its humanitarian and developmental projects in collaboration with its partners, expressing his gratitude to benefactors and donors who contribute to the continuity of these projects and their transformation into tangible reality.
