KUWAIT: The Kuwaiti Cabinet, during its weekly meeting, expressed resentment at the continued publication of cartoons offending Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). The Cabinet echoed the statement of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) denouncing such cartoons and all slanderous acts against holy faith or religious icons.

Meanwhile, the Cabinet members welcomed the signing by the Libyan parties of ceasefire agreement at the end of the fourth UN-sponsored session of the joint military commission held in Geneva on October 19-23. They voiced hope for success of the efforts of the UN envoy to Libya and all stakeholders to reach a political solution to conflict, restore security and stability in the country, and realize the aspirations of the brotherly people of Libya.

They also hailed the truce deal reached by Azerbaijan and Armenia and the efforts recently made by the United States to deescalate the conflict in disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region. They expressed hope that the two countries would be able to reach a political settlement to the dispute and restore security, stability and peace in the region.

In the meantime, the Cabinet members strongly denounced the continued attacks by the Yemeni Houthi militia against civilian targets in the southern parts of the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The persistence of such drone and missile attacks runs counter to the rules of international law and norms and undermines the security of the entire region, thus necessitating an immediate international response, the Cabinet stressed, renewing Kuwait's support to Saudi Arabia in all acts it might take to protect its security and stability.

The Cabinet condemned the recent terrorist attack on an educational center in Afghanistan which left scores of casualties. Expressing condolences for the families of the victims, the Cabinet reaffirmed Kuwait's solidarity with the Republic of Afghanistan in its fight against terrorism. - KUNA
