met with Armenian Minister of Diaspora Dr. Hranush Hakobian, during which they
affirmed depth of joint relations between the two countries, Kuwaiti Embassy
in Armenia stated on Wednesday.
During the meeting, held in the Armenian republic, the two sides discussed

families, via the International Islamic Charitable Organization (IICO).
The Kuwait-based IICO has provided aid to schools that Armenia allocated
for the children of Syrian refugees, the Embassy mentioned in a statement.
Kuwait has always provided aid and charity as it also closely follows up on
the situation of Syrian refugees and provides them with aid and assistance,
under the directions of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber
Al-Sabah, in whatever country they take as a refuge such as Jordan, Turkey,
Lebanon and Armenia, Ambassador Al-Qabandi noted in the statement.
