KUWAIT, May 8 (KUNA) -- Philippines Minister of Labor and Employment Silvestre Bello will be in Kuwait tomorrow Wednesday for talks with senior officials to discuss means of solving Filipino workers' problems, and a relevant workforce agreement, an official said Tuesday.
"The standoff with the Philippines is heading to breakthrough," Deputy foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah told reporters on sidelines of a reception by the Italian Embassy to mark the European country's national day.
Asked if a new Filipino ambassador to Kuwait has been nominted, Al-Jarallah the foreign ministry would be awaiting for such nomination.
Kuwait considered the Philippines Ambassador persona-non-grata after acts committed by Filipino nationals in violation of Kuwait's sovereignty, deemed interference in its internal affairs, even violate relevant international agreements and treaties, especially Article 41 of Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
