A Diplomat\u2019s Diplomat
\n<\/em><\/h1>\n

Deputy Foreign Minister of Kuwait Ambassador Khaled Suleiman Al-Jarallah, a career diplomat long associated with furthering the country\u2019s foreign policies, tendered his resignation on 28 January.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

A statement from the Foreign Ministry on 1 February confirmed that the Foreign Minister Dr. Ahmad Nasser Al-Muhammad Al-Sabah had accepted the resignation of his deputy, and had assigned Ambassador Jamal Al-Ghanem as a temporary replacement to the position.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearing up ambiguity in some quarters on the reason for his resignation, Al-Jarallah said in a statement: \u201cThe resignation is in line with Supreme Decree No. 2021-3, which stipulates the termination of the duties of those with the rank of minister and those who have spent a period of 4 years or more on 31 January 2021. Accordingly, I submitted my resignation to the political leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n

Khaled Al-Jarallah, the 74-year old veteran diplomat, was often seen as the country\u2019s main diplomatic trouble-shooter, successfully negotiating many seemingly intractable challenges. Al-Jarallah, a graduate with a BA in Political Science from Kuwait University in 1971, joined the Foreign Ministry and worked his way up to Foreign-Undersecretary. In 2006, while serving as foreign undersecretary, he was first appointed to the rank of minister. He was also a board member of the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, the soft-power arm of Kuwait\u2019s international diplomacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even in the world of diplomacy, known for its polite talking, soft treading, sweet smiling envoys who favor gentle nudgings and discreet maneuvers to influence favorable outcomes, Khaled Al-Jarallah stood out with his courteous manner and his easily approachable nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

He was often the \u2018go-to\u2019 contact for foreign ambassadors and world diplomats in their dealings with Kuwait\u2019s foreign ministry. He was the face of Kuwait in many discreet and delicate \u2018behind-the-limelight\u2019 negotiations and discussions held to promote the country\u2019s foreign policies and interests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2006, Al-Jarallah was the envoy of choice of the late Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to convey personal messages to regional leaders. Also, as the deputy to then Foreign Minister and current Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Khalid Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, Al-Jarallah was at the forefront in promoting Kuwait\u2019s interests in regional and global forums.<\/span><\/p>\n

An astute diplomat he was capable of deftly weaving the fabric of diplomacy through his vast experience in the field, as well as maintaining and developing diplomatic relations in local, regional and international arenas through his unique style of work and affable nature.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is no wonder then that the diplomatic corps in Kuwait have come out with glowing accolades and appreciation for Khaled Al-Jarallah. Many heads of diplomatic missions accredited to the country spoke about their relations with the former Deputy Foreign Minister, recalling his fine qualities and wishing him continued success in his life. They also highlighted his prominent role in the consolidation of bilateral relations between Kuwait and their countries, his extensive experience, his modesty and his sophisticated dealings with everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n
