Kuwait City: The Amir of Kuwait Shaikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah said that the delicate situation in the region requires vigilance and social unity to maintain national security and people’s safety.
"The bitter reality of the region, its dangerous dimensions and consequences, and the developments taking place in the region calls upon us to realise the current situations and circumstances," he said.
"We should be cautious and ready to confront threats in order to protect the safety and security of our dear country," he added in a keyonote address on the occasion of the last ten days of Ramadan.
Shaikh Sabah emphasised the importance of national unity in protecting the country in this turbulent time. "This will be achieved through cohesion and adherence to our national unity. We will never allow prejudice. National unity is the protective wall after God for the homeland, that protects us from the woes that plague other countries," he stated.
He stressed the need to strengthen the internal front and stand up against anyone who tries to stir up strife, or subvert social coherence, and hailed the pivotal role of the GCC in countering dangers and overcoming regional challenges.
"We assure that sticking to our Gulf community and keeping the privileges we have achieved within the frame of the GCC is the security that enables us to face such dangers and challenges."
He reminded all Kuwaitis that "Our homeland is entrusted to us all, and this requires everyone to be faithful and loyal, and to work diligently, earnestly and sincerely to advance it and push its development process towards its desired goals".
