“I was brought up by two late Amir brothers; Sheikh Jaber and Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad, may Allah bless their souls,” he noted. They were an ideal of mercy, humanity, tolerance and appreciation to women, he said, indicating, “we will continue going on their paths, under His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al- Jaber Al-Sabah’s leadership”.

“Mankind, especially Kuwait, will not forget the efforts of Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah,” the Crown Prince stated.
