Senior Officials Visit Kuwait to Offer Condolences to Emir

President Michel Aoun, Speaker Nabih Berri and caretaker PM Hassan Diab arrived in Kuwait on Monday to extend condolences to the new emir, Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, who was sworn in last week.

Sheikh Nawaf succeeded his half-brother, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, a giant of Gulf diplomacy who died at the age of 91.

The Lebanese delegation included caretaker Minister of Foreign Affairs, Charbel Wehbe, and was joined by the Chargé d'Affairs of the Lebanese Embassy in Kuwait, Basil Oweidat.

Sheikh Nawwaf thanked Aoun, Berri and Diab for their condolences, stressing that Kuwait during his era will stand alongside Lebanon and continue its march of support for the good of its people and its revival, pointing to the position of Lebanon and the Lebanese in the hearts of Kuwaitis.

After offering condolences, the Lebanese Presidential delegation left Kuwait to return to Beirut.
