KUWAIT CITY, Dec 3, (KUNA): Legislative and legal committee of the National Assembly exchanged Monday legal expertise with the head of French-Kuwaiti parliamentary friendship Group in the French Senate and his accompanying delegation.
The president of the committee MP Khaled Al-Shatti said in a statement to Al-Dustour news network that the discussion included legal, economic, constitutional issues, and ways of consolidating legal relations.
They also reviewed bilateral relations and means to strengthen them in the National Assembly’s legislative and legal committee delegation’s previous visit to Paris.
The French delegation in addition includes the chairman of the GCC-French parliamentary friendship Group in the French Senate and French Ambassador to Kuwait Marie Masdupuy. Topics put on table at a meeting of Arab ministers of social affairs, particularly those pertinent to anti-famine efforts and disabled persons’ rights, are of paramount significance, said a senior Kuwaiti official on Sunday.
A strategic framework of anti-famine efforts was mainly addressed during the 38th meeting of the ministers held at the Cairo-based Arab League headquarters, Kuwait’s Undersecretary of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor Saad AlKharraz told KUNA on the sidelines of the gathering.
Egypt took on the rotating presidency of the session at the level of senior officials from the State of Kuwait during the opening session of the event, he said.
The conferees spoke highly of the great efforts exerted by Kuwait during its chairmanship of the 37th session, boasted Al-Kharraz, who led Kuwait’s delegation partaking in the meeting.
On a Kuwaiti suggestion to Arabicize a contest involving orphans from across the wider Arab region, he said his country had forwarded it during a meeting in 2017.
The contest will be discussed during the Arab gathering for final approval ahead of being put in place as of 2010, he added.
An Egyptian official thanked Kuwait for the Gulf state’s initiative to “Arabicize” a contest involving orphans from across the wider Arab region.
The contest represents a “transitional phase” from a social perspective, Egypt’s Deputy Minister of Social Solidarity Dr Neveen Al-Qabah said amid high-level talks bringing together Arab ministers of social affairs.
She revealed that Kuwait and Egypt have sealed a number of deals germane to social protection, describing the agreements as “highly productive.”
The Kuwaiti Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor’s undersecretary Saad Al-Kharaz thanked the Council of Arab Ministers of Social Affairs for their efforts to bring several key development projects to fruition.
The talks come as a prelude to a forthcoming Arab summit slated to take place in Tunisia.
