DOHA, March 27, (KUNA): The State of Kuwait on Monday stressed the importance of holding direct dialogues between humanitarian actors from the East and West due to the positive effects that would contribute to enhancing the process of international humanitarian action.
Head of the humanitarian work team in the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry Abdullah Al-Khubaizi told Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) on the sidelines of the ‘International Humanitarian Action Conference between East and West’ that Kuwait is keen to cooperate with all international humanitarian actors to address the effects of the war on terrorism and the international classifications associated with it which have become a real threat against the humanitarian process.
Al-Khubaizi, First Secretary, said that Kuwait, represented by the Foreign Ministry, has taken several steps and organizational policies in cooperation with a number of government agencies in order to protect the Kuwaiti humanitarian work and its sponsors and keep them away from the circle of suspicion.
He added that these policies, which are compatible with the relevant international regulations and resolutions, have contributed to the promotion of Kuwaiti humanitarian leadership and strengthened the confidence of the international community in the humanitarian role of the State of Kuwait at the governmental and popular levels.
On the conference, Al-Khubaizi praised the wide participation of international bodies and experts in the field of humanitarian work and their effective role in enriching the knowledge of the conference sessions and their outstanding intellectual contributions to understanding the relationship of the Islamic religion with charity and humanitarian work.
He expressed hope that this conference would come up with recommendations and initiatives that contribute to creating a common platform and dialogue between the countries of the East and West to promote a common understanding of the humanitarian work to confront all challenges facing humanitarian and charitable work.
The conference, organized by Eid Charity, aims to enhance cooperation, build field work partnerships, fund humanitarian projects and build peace between charitable organizations with different backgrounds and orientations.
