Kuwait’s Ambassador to the Kingdom of Belgium and the head of its missions to the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Nawaf Al-Enezi affirmed Kuwait’s relentless support to the Palestinian cause, describing the position as “principled and firm.” In a statement, Ambassador Al-Enezi’s position came according to the Kuwaiti embassy’s statement during his participation in the meeting of the Liaison Committee on Palestine at the level of senior officials in Brussels earlier today.

Ambassador Al-Enezi affirmed that the State of Kuwait “did not hesitate in its duty to extend a helping hand to the Palestinian people and the Palestinian Authority to enable it to carry out its duties towards its people.” He added that the State of Kuwait donated USD 5.21 million through the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) to ensure that the vital educational, health and social services provided by the Agency to millions of Palestinian refugees would not be interrupted.

He stressed the importance of strengthening the Palestinian economy and institutions, including working to preserve the gains that have been achieved and push forward the process of building the Palestinian state.

He also affirmed the State of Kuwait’s commitment to the two-state solution and to reaching a comprehensive and lasting peace in accordance with international references and relevant United Nations resolutions
