Kuwait with the demise of the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah has lost a great and sagacious leader who spared regional and international nations diverse political crises, said Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in the United Kingdom. Dubbing the late Amir, who passed away on Tuesday, as leader and mentor of the Kuwaiti diplomacy, Khaled Al-Duwaisan, the State of Kuwait Ambassador to the UK, said in a statement to KUNA that Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad was a prominent leader who had played a significant role in tackling the tension and resolving conflicts in the Middle East since he served as foreign minister.
He was an extraordinary personality, not only at the Gulf and Arab levels, but also at the global level and this fact was substantiated with his designation as Leader of Humanitarian Action by the United Nations (in 2014), Al-Duwaisan said. Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad had a good reputation among global and British quarters particularly due to his role in supporting humanitarian action, the ambassador added.
He recalled Sheikh Al-Ahmad’s role in backing up four conventions for supporting the Syrian people, latest of which was held in the British capital in February 2016. The State of Kuwait Embassy in London will begin, as of today, receiving condolences via its website as a precaution against the coronavirus.
The envoy wished success for the freshly proclaimed Amir of Kuwait, H H Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, affirming that he “is the best successor of best predecessor.” His Highness the new Amir, Sheikh Nawaf, will pursue leading the state, guided by the political legacy “he inherited from the late dean of international diplomacy Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.”
