Kuwait’s Acting Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah received on Wednesday the United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF) new representative in the Arabian Gulf region Eltayeb Adam.
The meeting focused on Kuwait and UNICEF’s common goal of protecting children’s rights, especially those who have had to withstand adversity and dismal living conditions.
The Kuwaiti minister spoke highly of UNICEF’s contributions towards such noble causes and its commitment to ameliorate the lives of children in more than 190 countries.
Meanwhile, the UNICEF official expressed his gratitude for the support the Gulf state has given to the UN program, saying it was instrumental in allowing UNICEF to bring its human development goals to fruition.
The Acting Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs also received Wednesday the Kuwaiti film director Dr Reham Al-Rughaib on the occasion of winning two awards at the Migrarti Film Fest held in Italy.
