Kuwait, Palestinian foreign ministers discuss plans to improve ties

(MENAFN - Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) KUWAIT, June 1 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Foreign Minister Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Nasser Al-Sabah held talks on Tuesday with his Palestinian counterpart Riad Al-Maliki, focusing on efforts to push bilateral relations to new highs.Kuwait's support for the Palestinians in the face of an "onslaught of Israeli attacks" will remain unflinching, Sheikh Ahmad, who doubles as State Minister for Cabinet Affairs, told the Palestinian top diplomat amid the talks.These "acts of destruction" on the part of the Israelis violate international humanitarian laws and conventions, the Kuwaiti minister emphasized, saying that a two-state solution that guarantees an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital is the only way forward.The Palestinian minister said he was appreciative of Kuwait's support, which has been largely instrumental in keeping regional peace and security intact, just as Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh concluded a two-day official visit to Kuwait.
