Kuwait plays pivotal role in regional, global development - Diplomat

AMMAN, Jan 17 (KUNA) -- Kuwait Ambassador to Jordan Sheikh Faisal Al-Hamoud Al-Malik Al-Sabah praised on Sunday the role of his country in backing the pursuits of development in the Arab region and worldwide.
The first Arab Economic, Social and Development Summit, to be hosted by Kuwait on January 19-20, is a new evidence of the keenness of the Kuwaiti leaders to enhance the Arab joint action, Sheikh Faisal told KUNA here.
"The historic event is expected to improve the standards of living of citizens of the Arab world. It will lay the foundation stone for effected economic integration among the Arab countries "The summit gains further importance as it coincides with the current global economic and financial turmoil and the grave consequences of the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip on the Middle East," the Kuwaiti diplomat pointed out.
Kuwait made great efforts to prepare for the summit and ensure the fulfillment of its targets particularly those relating to the revival of the economies of the region, he added. (end) nas.gb.
