He revealed that the second joint committee between the two countries will be held in its third session in Kuwait before the end of this year, stressing that this committee prepares the general framework for discussing ways of cooperation between the two sides in all fields.

He also called for investment in his country, especially in the liberated areas, noting that owning land in his country requires establishing an investment company.

He stressed his keenness to communicate with Kuwaiti society by visiting diwaniyas during the holy month and attending Ramadan ghabqas, considering that this tradition, which he described as good, enhances communication between members of society, noting that diwaniyas are a community culture that distinguishes Kuwait from other countries.
