‘Humanitarian role to continue’

BRUSSELS, May 10, (KUNA): Kuwait called on Tuesday on the international community to take a firm stand against oppression and human suffering in Syria and other parts of the world.

This came in the Sixth Brussels conference on “Supporting the future of Syria and the region”, in which the Kuwaiti Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Majdi Al-Dhafiri gave his speech.

“Kuwait will continue its humanitarian role in cooperation with the international community to face different types of world crises, and it has been supporting the Syrian crisis since Kuwait’s first conference to support the humanitarian situation in Syria in 2013 as it pledged USD 1.9 billion to help alleviate the suffering of the Syrian people,” said Al-Dhafiri.

“On this occasion, we renew our call for a stronger and more firm stand against the human suffering of the Syrian people, and to take more serious actions against the violations of the international laws and end these conflicts,” he added.
