The President, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, on Wednesday described the fraternal ties between the UAE and Kuwait as “deep” and bilateral cooperation as “constructive” under the umbrella of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
“We are always eager to meet with Kuwaiti brethren and to elevate the scale of joint cooperation to match that of brotherhood bonds so as to better serve the mutual interests and consolidate the GCC joint action,” Shaikh Khalifa said as he welcomed visiting Kuwaiti Prime Minister Shaikh Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah at Al Rawdha Palace here.
Shaikh Khalifa said the visit would produce important results that would further strengthen the fraternal ties between the two countries.
On his part, the Kuwaiti premier said he was delighted at visiting the UAE and had the honour of meeting Shaikh Khalifa.
“The State of Kuwait harbours high esteem and respect for the leadership, government and people of the UAE for their honourable stances towards Kuwaiti people and for the UAE’s leading role in promoting and establishing principles of the GCC,” Shaikh Nasser said.
Shaikh Khalifa and his Kuwaiti guest discussed bilateral ties and reviewed latest developments at the Gulf, Arab and international arenas.
The meeting was attended by a number of shaikhs, ministers and senior officials. The Kuwaiti premier arrived here earlier in the day as part of a Gulf tour.
He was greeted at the airport by Lt-General Shaikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and a group of shaikhs, ministers and top officials.
