The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) on Tuesday expressed its condolences over the passing of the Amir His Highness Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to the people of Kuwait, the Gulf bloc and the Arab and Islamic regions. In a statement, GCC Secretary General Nayef Al-Hajraf expressed his sorrow and commiserations to His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, GCC leaders, the Al-Sabah ruling family and the people of Kuwait and Gulf states.
The late deceased ruler was “sincerely devoted, greatly appreciated and had a large place in the hearts of people,” said the GCC chief. Al-Hajraf praised the significant role, played by the late Kuwaiti ruler, in the legacy of the regional bloc, alongside his relentless and sincere efforts to support its causes, raise its status and support its growth and development.
“In his passing, the world has lost an ‘Amir of humanity’ and pioneer of development, who strived for goodness and peace and intended to embolden harmony, cooperation and solidarity amongst the peoples of the world,” Al-Hajraf added, praying for mercy on his soul.
