Saudi Crown Prince affirms strengthening of relations with Kuwait

Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman arrived in Kuwait on an official visit on Sunday where he met with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

The Saudi crown prince discussed with the Emir of Kuwait and a number of officials bilateral relations and cooperation between their countries and issues of common concern. The visit also touched on more coordination on oil prices to support the stability of the market.

Shortly afterwards, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman left Kuwait and sent a cable of appreciation to Kuwait’s emir: “I am pleased, upon leaving your brotherly country, to convey to you my sincere thanks and appreciation for the hospitality I received.

This visit has allowed me to meet with your Highness and the Crown Prince, and discussed the consolidation of brotherly relations between the two countries and the two brotherly peoples and their interests in all fields. It also affirmed the depth of the historical relations that link the two brotherly countries under the leadership of the Custodian of the two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and your honorable Highness.

I wish you permanent health and for brotherly people of Kuwait further progress and prosperity.”

Kuwait is the first Gulf country Prince Mohammed bin Salman visits since he became Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince more than a year ago.

The two countries established a joint coordination council last July to increase cooperation and work together.
