ShareKUWAIT: Following Russia's unprovoked and premeditated invasion of Ukraine, G7 partners and EU colleagues represented in Kuwait, and with support from Australia and Albania alongside Ukraine, have sent an open letter to the Foreign Minister, Sheikh Dr Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah. The letter expresses the deep appreciation of our governments for the principled position that Kuwait has taken on Ukraine following Russia's invasion and our commitment to continue close cooperation.
Key extracts from the letter:
The Ambassadors noted the vote on the UN General Assembly resolution on 2 March, referring to:
"141 countries joining together to condemn Russia's action and call it clearly what it is: a blatant unprovoked and premeditated aggression against a peaceful sovereign country." "Kuwait has been a leading voice in support of the principles of sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the unequivocal rejection of the use of force."
"We would also like to acknowledge the important role you have played as the Kuwaiti Foreign Minister. Under the leadership of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and His Highness the Crown Prince Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Your Excellency Sheikh Dr Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Ahmed Al-Jaber Al-Sabah has worked tirelessly to highlight the dangers of inaction during this crisis."
