Kuwait, July 01 (QNA) - The Kuwaiti Cabinet voiced the condolences and sympathy of the State of Kuwait to the State of Qatar on the death of a Qatari citizen and the injury of a resident as a result of their being hit by shrapnel from the military operations that the region witnessed recently.

The Kuwaiti Cabinet extended the sincere condolences of the State of Kuwait and its heartfelt sympathy to the State of Qatar, its leadership, government and people, and to the family of the victim, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.

This came during a meeting of the Kuwaiti Cabinet on Tuesday, chaired by HH Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah.

On the other hand, the Kuwaiti Cabinet expressed its condemnation and denunciation in the strongest terms of the repeated Iranian attacks on the State of Kuwait, the latest of which was at dawn last Sunday, in flagrant violation of its sovereignty and a direct threat to its security, stability and the safety of its citizens and residents on its territory, and a clear violation of the rules of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.

The Cabinet stressed that the continuation of these blatant attacks at a time when regional and international efforts are underway to de-escalate tensions undermines efforts to reduce escalation in the region and represents a direct challenge to the international will supporting this path, reiterating that the State of Kuwait retains its full right to take all necessary measures to preserve its sovereignty, maintain its security and stability, and protect its people and residents on its territory.
