KUWAIT CITY: Kuwait has invited Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte to visit next month, Kuwait New Agency reported yesterday, as the countries seek to settle their differences over allegations of abuse of migrant workers.
Kuwait’s Deputy Foreign Minister Khalid Al Jarallah said yesterday that the two countries had agreed to sign a deal to regulate working conditions.
“We proposed to the Philippine authorities to resolve and contain these issues and not to escalate them in the media. There was agreement on this ... and we received a response,” he was quoted as saying.
It was not immediately clear if Duterte had accepted Kuwait’s invitation.
