Doha, February 18 (QNA) - The Qatari-Kuwaiti relations have remained strong, reinforced by high-level coordination between the wise leaderships of both countries and their constant commitment to supporting and enhancing these relations in various fields, which transformed the historic ties between the two nations from bilateral cooperation into a comprehensive strategic partnership and integration across various domains.
The two States share relations and bonds that extend beyond the boundaries of diplomatic and geographic concepts, rooted deep in history. These ties serve as a living example of integration, solidarity, and collaboration among brothers, not only in the Arabian Gulf region but throughout the entire Arab world.
The two countries are linked by distinctive relations, built upon a shared destiny, common goals, and a joint endeavor to achieve integration and interdependence in all vital areas that fulfill the aspirations of their people. This aligns with the determination of the wise political leaderships in both countries to push and elevate these relations to higher and more integrated levels.
These relations witnessed extensive development in recent years, which is reflected in the convergence of perspectives between the two countries on various political and economic fronts and a shared vision on regional and international issues. Senior officials from both nations exchange visits, messages, and communications regularly, underscoring the distinguished partnership between Qatar and Kuwait and the exceptional status and high regard for the State of Kuwait in the hearts of the Qatari, including HH the Amir, the government, and citizens.
As an indication of the depth and uniqueness of Qatari-Kuwaiti relations, and under the guidance of HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, the late Amir of the State of Kuwait HH Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah was honored in the State after a vital infrastructure project was named Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor. This new route extends from the south to the north of Doha, representing a new lifeline for the roads in the country. The name expresses Qatar's gratitude, love, and appreciation for this great Arab leader who distinguished himself with honorable positions towards his homeland, Arab brethren, and the Islamic nation worldwide, earning him the well-deserved title of 'Amir of Humanity.' This gesture also signifies the esteemed position of this great Arab leader in the hearts of Qatar Amir, government, and people alike. The inauguration of this corridor coincided with Qatar's participation in celebrating the 58th National Day and the 28th Liberation Day of the State of Kuwait.
Cooperation between Qatar and Kuwait encompasses various fields, including politics, economics, trade, investment, military, security, education, tourism, and the arts. A Joint Supreme Committee was established on June 18, 2002, to create a twinning relationship between the two countries, covering all aspects of cooperation and seeking broader prospects for fraternal ties.
In November 2020, the Committee held its 5th session through visual communication technology. The session reviewed bilateral cooperation, in addition to enhancing collaboration, achieving more integration in various sectors, and exchanging views on matters of mutual interest. Five MoU were signed, focusing on encouraging direct investment, civil service affairs and administrative development, Islamic affairs, various agricultural fields, and improving the implementation, construction, and maintenance of roads.
