Kuwait: Saudi Arabia's security is a fundamental pillar of Gulf national security
The State of Kuwait affirmed its close and continuous monitoring of all developments and events unfolding in the sisterly Republic of Yemen, expressing its firm and unwavering support for the legitimate Yemeni government. This affirmation came in an official statement issued by the Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which stressed the importance of prioritizing dialogue and national interest to ensure the restoration of security and stability in Yemen.
Yemen's unity and territorial integrity
The Kuwaiti statement emphasized the necessity of preserving Yemen's unity, territorial integrity, and sovereignty, stressing the importance of protecting the interests and resources of the brotherly Yemeni people to ensure the realization of their aspirations for security, stability, and comprehensive development. This position aligns with relevant international resolutions and the Gulf Cooperation Council initiative and its implementation mechanisms, which constitute a roadmap for a political solution in Yemen.
Saudi Arabia's security is an integral part of Kuwait's security
In a related context, the statement affirmed that the security of the sisterly Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the security of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states are indivisible and a fundamental pillar of Gulf national security. The Kuwaiti Ministry of Foreign Affairs indicated that this position stems from the deep bonds of brotherhood, shared blood ties, and common destiny that unite the GCC states, emphasizing that any threat to the Kingdom's security is a direct threat to the security of Kuwait and the entire Gulf system.
Historically, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have always considered their security to be collective and shared, as the defense and security agreements between the GCC countries stipulate that any threat to one of the member states is considered a threat to all, which reflects the depth of strategic cohesion between Kuwait and Riyadh in the face of various regional challenges.
Praise for the Saudi and Emirati role
The statement commended the responsible and wise approach adopted by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, and their unwavering commitment to achieving stability in the region and strengthening the principles of good neighborliness. Kuwait also noted the two brotherly countries' adherence to the values and principles of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which represent the cornerstone of activating joint Gulf action and unifying visions on critical issues.
Supporting diplomatic solutions and dialogue
The statement added that the State of Kuwait reaffirms its continued support for all regional and international efforts aimed at consolidating the foundations of dialogue and peace. Kuwaiti diplomacy, historically known for its role as an impartial mediator and advocate for peace, believes that political and diplomatic solutions are the best and only ways to end conflicts, achieve lasting security, and enhance opportunities for peace and prosperity for the peoples of the region.
The ministry concluded its statement by affirming that Kuwait will remain committed to its active and supportive role in all efforts that contribute to security and development in the Arabian Gulf region, serving the interests of its brotherly peoples and consolidating the principles of joint Gulf cooperation in the face of rapidly changing international circumstances.
