Kuwait committed to cementing Gulf unity - Al-Jarallah

KUWAIT, Sept 25 (KUNA) -- Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah reiterated on Monday that Kuwait would continue its mediation in Gulf crisis with a view to restoring the unity of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states.
"We are confident that our brothers in the GCC states and Egypt will be able to overcome this regrettable row and turn over a new leaf in order to be better able to address the numerous challenges," he said.
Al-Jarallah made the press remarks on the sidelines of a reception hosted by Saudi Embassy here on Monday to celebrate the Kingdom's 87th national day that falls on September 23.
"We are optimistic about future of the Gulf unity and early solution of this crisis," he said, lauding the efforts being made by US President Donald Trump to support the Kuwaiti mediation.
"Thanks to Kuwait's credible diplomacy and the eminent status of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Kuwaiti mediation efforts gained unprecedented support from around the globe," he pointed out.
Al-Jarallah urged the mass media in the GCC states to tone down their rhetoric and adopt a more balanced and credible approach in order to help overcome the current crisis.
He voiced hope that the crisis will be resolved before the GCC summit, due in Kuwait in December. (pickup previous) fn.ns.gb
