I would like to extend my sincere congratulations and best wishes to the Government and people of Kuwait on the occasion of the 61st anniversary of independence and 31st anniversary of liberation under the slogan ‘Paradise for all of us’. We at UNHCR appreciate the long-lasting partnership we have with the State of Kuwait, where we have been present in Kuwait for more than 30 years. The assistance provided by the State of Kuwait through UNHCR has helped tens of millions of refugees around the world.
Kuwait is witnessing a new era that is an extension of a humanitarian legacy that we witnessed under the leadership of the Amir of Kuwait His Highness Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah, and the Crown Prince His Highness Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah.
I wish the State of Kuwait and its people security, prosperity, and success.
May God return this happy occasion.
