Osama Shalthout , expressed his happiness at participating in this exhibition, which carries meanings of humanity, pointing out that the large presence from various segments of Kuwaiti society, in addition to a large number of heads of diplomatic missions from various countries of the world, indicates that everyone stands with the Palestinian right to establish its state according to its legitimate borders.

He praised the timing of holding this important exhibition, calling on the Palestinians to unite and adhere to their land.
