KUWAIT, Sept 20 (KUNA) -- The participation of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah's Representative, His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah in the high-level meeting of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) embodies Kuwait's prestigious position and firm commitment to the UN Charter principles, Minister of Foreign Affairs said on Friday.
Speaking to KUNA in a statement, Minister Abdullah Al-Yahya said Kuwait sees this occasion as an opportunity to renew its commitment to the values enshrined in the Charter, particularly in the fields of peace and security, development, and human rights.
Over decades, Kuwait has played an effective role in backing UN action through either its humanitarian and relief efforts, mediation initiatives or resolving conflicts, the minister noted.
This approach mirrors a firm policy that made Kuwait a reliable partner regionally and internationally, he stated.
Al-Yahya pointed out that the participation of His Highness the Amir's Representative is a clear message showing Kuwait's continued obligation to support pluralism and boosting international cooperation in the face of global challenges topped with climate change, armed conflicts and sustainable development.
Kuwait will continue supporting efforts aiming to achieve peace, security and global stability, he said.
The historic 80th anniversary of the founding of the UN in San Francisco must serve as an occasion for member states to renew their pledge to uphold the spirit of international cooperation and joint action, in a manner that meets the aspirations of peoples for a safer, fairer, and more prosperous future, the minister concluded.
