KUWAIT: Egyptian Ambassador to Kuwait Osama Shaltout on Thursday described Egyptian-Kuwaiti relations as a model of Arab cooperation rooted in mutual respect and shared interests. Speaking during a reception hosted by the Egyptian Embassy to mark the 73rd anniversary of the July 23, 1952 Revolution, Shaltout highlighted the depth of bilateral ties and ongoing efforts to strengthen cooperation across various sectors. The event was attended by Kuwait’s Minister of Municipality and Minister of State for Housing Affairs Abdullatif Al-Meshari, along with senior officials and members of the diplomatic corps in Kuwait.
Shaltout pointed to the significant development witnessed in multiple areas of cooperation between the two countries, crowned by the historic state visit of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah to Egypt in April 2024. He described the visit as a pivotal moment in reinforcing the strong and strategic partnership between Kuwait and Egypt.
Reflecting on the significance of the July 23 Revolution, Shaltout said the movement marked a turning point in Egypt’s modern history, laying the foundations for national independence, sovereignty, and comprehensive development. He added that the revolution also inspired liberation movements throughout the Arab world and Africa.
The ambassador expressed his appreciation to the government and people of Kuwait for their warm hospitality and support during his tenure, reaffirming Egypt’s commitment to advancing bilateral collaboration in ways that benefit both nations and further strengthen the bonds between the Egyptian and Kuwaiti peoples. — KUNA
