Kuwait voices support for all steps to promote peace and prevent conflicts

New York (UNA-OIC) – Kuwait has expressed support to all steps for peace promotion and conflict prevention, including a new peace plan to eliminate strategic threats posed by nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) while boosting regional prevention policy.

This came in a speech by Minister Plenipotentiary Talal Al-Fassam before a UN General Assembly’s informal meeting of the plenary on the report of the Secretary-General, entitled “Our Common Agenda,” last night.

The agenda, arranged at the request of world leaders to mark UN’s 75th anniversary, was “one of the most important UN documents in past years,” said Al-Fassam.

“The world succeeded in overcoming the second world war and establishing a new world order based on UN Charter, the international law and human rights as well as agreements, treaties and UN resolutions that contributed to honoring requirements of the past 75 years,” he said.

Everybody realizes the world was facing huge challenges like conflicts, poverty, violence, climate change, deterioration of biological diversity and most recently the coronavirus pandemic, said the Kuwaiti minister.

Therefore, he added, the Common Agenda was important towards a better future, and Kuwait was looking forward to “constructive discussions” surrounded by confidence and solidarity with the objective of contributing to the prosperity of people, preserving planet earth, and honoring the aspirations of youth.

Kuwait, said Al-Fassam, supported UN Secretary General’s call for a summit to discuss the future, and was also recognizing the UN role in preserving international peace and security.

“Spreading values of peace, co-existence and dialogue are one of the major foundations of Kuwait’s foreign policy,” he said, pointing out that Kuwait also supported acceleration of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
