KUWAIT, Feb 18 (KUNA) -- Visiting Somali Minister of Education Ali Haji has commended Kuwait's effort exerted in humanitarian action and the Kuwait Red Crescent Society's (KRCS) role in offering aid to needy and vulnerable people in different countries, especially in Somalia.
After meeting with KRCS Deputy Chairman Anwar Al-Hassawi here on Wednesday, Haji said that Kuwait's humanitarian aid has been offered to Somalia, thanks to the initiatives launched by His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
He added the KRCS has been contributing to humanitarian action for many years at regional and international levels, stressing that Somali people are highly appreciating the society's humanitarian role.
He said that the meeting tackled the KRCS's support for Somalia in the domains of health and education as well as further humanitarian action for orphans, inviting the society to visit his country.
On his part, Al-Hassawi said that the State of Kuwait under the leadership of His Highness the Amir has been a leading country in offering aid to peoples, including the Somali people.
Al-Assawi added that offering aid to Somalia comes in line with His Highness the Amir's interest in alleviating sufferings of Somalis, noting it also affirms KRCS's humanitarian role in helping needy people in all countries across the globe.
He said that a KRCS delegation would travel to Somalia next month to take part in a celebration of humanitarian projects organized by the society in Somalia.
Al-Hassawi presented a detailed report about all humanitarian aid offered by the KRCS to countries like Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Philippines, Bosna, and Herzegovina and the war-ravaged Gaza Strip, as well as other countries across the globe in collaboration with some organizations interested in humanitarian action.
