Kuwait envoy says ambassadors return indicates success of Kuwaiti initiative

Kuwaiti Ambassador to Lebanon Abdul-Al al-Qinai announced Wednesday that the recent restoration of diplomatic ties between Lebanon and some Gulf countries and the return of their ambassadors to the country are “an indication that the Kuwaiti initiative has succeeded.”

This also means that “the two parties in brotherly Lebanon and the Gulf have agreed that the history and the fate that bring them together are more important than anything else,” Qinai added, after talks at the Grand Serail with Prime Minister Najib Miqati.

Hoping that the recent spat has been a “summer’s cloud,” Qinai said the ambassadors’ return “will lead to further rapprochement and cooperation.”

Miqati for his part stressed “the firmness of the relations between Lebanon and Kuwait,” thanking the Gulf country and its government for their “permanent support for Lebanon and their efforts to restore the purity and vitality of Lebanese-Gulf ties.”
