Kuwaiti Minister of Foreign Affairs and Acting Defense Minister Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Nasser AlMohammad Al-Sabah has stated that promoting peaceful resolution of disputes has become key pillar of Kuwait’s diplomacy. This came during the celebration of the International Peace Day organized by the Kuwaiti Woman Institute for Development and Peace under the slogan (Peace is our way), with the participation of the Arab League Secretary-General Ahmad Abul Gheit and the Deputy Chairman of the Isa Cultural Center in the Kingdom of Bahrain Dr. Khaled Al-Khalifa.
“Kuwait has been keen to spread and support cultures of peace, dialogue and moderation, so these principles have become main features of its foreign policy,” said the Sheikh Ahmad. Sheikh Ahmad argued that Kuwait always backed the UN efforts to achieve international peace.
Kuwait is open for all cultures and had joined the Alliance of Civilizations Initiative to promote dialogue and peaceful co-existence among people of different cultures, he noted. The Kuwaiti minister pointed out that governments, international organizations, civil society institutions, and individuals, are required to strive with sincere intentions to combat extremist ideas that incite hatred towards others. Sheikh Ahmad thanked the Arab League Secretary-General and Dr. Khaled for their participation and the Kuwaiti Woman Institute for Development and Peace for organizing this conference.
