President Aoun to Kuwait next week to boost bilateral ties

President Michel Aoun will head to Kuwait on Nov. 5 for a two-day official visit in which he will hold talks with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah.
Aoun will lead a ministerial delegation that includes Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, Telecommunications Minister Jamal Jarrah, Minister of State for Administrative Development Inaya Ezzeddine, Minister of State for Human Rights Affairs Ayman Choucair, as well as former Minister Elias Bou Saab who currently serves as Aoun’s adviser on international cooperation.

General Security chief Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim and head of the Council for Development and Reconstruction Nabil al-Jisr will also join the delegation.

Aoun is expected to be received at the airport by the Kuwaiti emir before heading to the Bayan Palace for official talks between the Lebanese and Kuwaiti delegations. A meeting between Aoun and Sabah will precede the official talks.

Aoun’s visit to Kuwait comes after his visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Jordan.
