KUWAIT, Aug 24 (KUNA) -- National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Ali Al-Ghanim hosted on Thursday at his bureau Australian Ambassador to the State of Kuwait Warren Hauck.
The Parliament Speaker Al-Ghanim, during the meeting, handed ambassador Hauck a message expressing gratitude to members of the Australian Senate and the General Prosecutor in Australia for defending the Muslim community in the nation.
The speaker expressed the admiration for the senators and the prosecutor for resisting the right-wing leader Pauline Hanson who assailed the Islamic veil in a manner that reflected discrimination against Islam. (end) nma.rk
