KUWAIT, Aug 9 (KUNA) -- Kuwait stands ready to support Lebanon by any means necessary in the wake of a horrific port explosion that ravaged its capital Beirut, His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah said on Sunday.
Kuwaitآ’s support for the Lebanese people stems from its conviction in the deep camaraderie between the two countries, the Kuwaiti premier told an international donor conference for Lebanon via video link, co-hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron and UN chief Antonio Guterres.
The Kuwaiti relief package comprises previous pledges worth nearly USD 30 million, in addition to medical supplies and food aid of up to USD 11 million, he revealed, citing contributions from local charities as well. (end)
