KUWAIT, Sept 12 (KUNA) -- Kuwait is ever at the beck and call of stricken people worldwide with valuable relief aid and humanitarian assistance, said visiting Somali Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Saeed Abdullah Mohammad in a press statement on Friday.
The statement came after his meeting with Deputy Chairman of the Kuwait Red Crescent Society (KRCS) Anwar Al-Hasawi to whom he relayed his country's gratitude for the humanitarian assistance Kuwait has given and continues to give to African nations, including Somalia.
The Minister noted in his statement the great honor the UN has recently bestowed on His Highness the Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah by designating him a "Humanitarian Leader" and Kuwait a "Humanitarian Center." Among the topics of discussion between the Somali minister and the deputy chairman was KRCS's assistance to Somalia in the latter's efforts to curb the onset of drought. The deputy chairman emphasized KRCS's earnest undertakings to alleviate any humanitarian situation in Somalia. (end) akh.ajs
