The State of Kuwait supports the proliferation of the culture of peace worldwide, said a Kuwaiti diplomat late on Monday. This affirmation came during a speech delivered by advisor at the Kuwaiti permanent delegation to the UN headquarters in New York Faisal Al-Enizi to a UN General Assembly session on the culture of peace.
Al-Enizi called for disregarding extremism, hate, and violence, stressing that all member states of the UN should work together to promote peace in the world and teach future generations about this noble concept.
Meanwhile, the Kuwaiti diplomat touched on the recent measures to contain the omicron variant of COVID-19, saying that policies leading to the closure of borders would prevent dialogue and peace to be shared by all nations.
He called on all countries to reinforce cooperation and face challenges together, commending UN efforts to hold a meeting next January to formulate a plan to distribute, in a just manner, the COVID-19 vaccines globally.
Al-Enizi renewed Kuwait’s support to all initiatives and efforts to bolster international cooperation under the umbrella of the UN.
Kuwait supports the UN Secretariat efforts to achieve sustainable goals for future generations, he said, adding that his country was in favor of holding a conference for the future and youth of the world at the nearest possible opportunity.
He noted that Kuwait always supported dialogue and understanding amongst religions and ideologies, affirming that the constitution of Kuwait guaranteed freedom of religion and expression.
The State of Kuwait had established a high committee to bolster understanding in society and fight extremism in all its forums, the diplomat affirmed, saying that even during the pandemic, forums, sessions, and meetings were held on social media platform to counter extremism and boost peace and understanding. – KUNA
