‘Both countries share historical brotherly ties’
KUWAIT CITY, April 25: The Egyptian Ambassador to Kuwait, Tariq AlQouni, says he fully rejects any criticism of the leaders of both the countries – Kuwait and Egypt – adding the two countries and their peoples share historical brotherly ties which cannot be affected by some misguided people, reports Al-Seyassah daily.
Al-Qouni, in a statement congratulated His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmed, HH the Crown Prince Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad, and Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled and sent good wishes to Kuwait, its noble people, the Egyptian community and all residents living on the land of Kuwait.
Al-Qouni said the holy month this year comes under exceptional circumstances because of the corona virus and praised the efforts exerted by Kuwait to prevent its spread and to preserve the security and safety of everyone.
Al-Qouni called for taking advantage of the holy month to put an end to what he called bickering and stirring up strife in the social media, which saw desperate attempts during the past period, to undermine the strong ties between the peoples of the two countries.
Al-Qouni appreciated the keenness of officials in the two countries to take measures against the abusers on both sides, and hinted in this regard that follow-up to this file is not limited to abuses against Egypt, but the embassy took the initiative to refer a number of abusive tweets towards the State of Kuwait to the concerned authorities in Egypt to take the necessary action.
The Egyptian Ambassador affirmed total rejection of offence to the leaderships of the two countries and their peoples, stressing both countries share a common destiny.
