Embassy honors Palestinian graduates during ghabqa
The Palestinian Embassy held a Ramadan ghabqa in honor of Palestinian high school graduates of the 2017-2018 academic year on Monday at JW Marriot in Kuwait City. During his opening speech, Palestinian Ambassador Rami Tahboub thanked His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber AlSabah for all what Kuwait is doing for Palestine, its cause and its people.
“We meet today, as always, to honor a new constellation of young girls and boys from the Palestinian community who will be responsible for moving forward in the process of building the Palestinian people and homeland. The occupied state of Palestine is a great country with its human resources and minds of its young men and women. Any occupation force - no matter how powerful it is - will not be able to occupy these minds and thoughts,” he said.
Tahboub noted that Palestinians top the list of Arabs in terms of education relative to population, and one of the top people in the world educationally and culturally. “The world witnesses this through scientists of Palestinian origin living in the world’s most advanced countries and their contributions to the world in the fields of medicine, science, astronomy, literature and many other fields,” he said.
Tahboub congratulated the students, saying: “Your responsibility is to maintain your superiority when you go to your universities and to maintain your path of excellence, because Palestine is waiting to keep its flag elevated at the highest level and pave the path for the future generations of our people, who gave martyrs, wounded and prisoners to redeem the freedom and independence of our people.”
