Cairo: Security of other countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) is an “indivisible part” of Kuwait’s security, Kuwaiti Defence Minister Shaikh Ahmad Al Mansour has said.
###
The official made the remarks during an inspection visit on Tuesay to the Kuwaiti forces based in Saudi Arabia as part of a Saudi-led campaign launched in 2015 to fight Yemen’s Iran-allied Al Houthi militia.
###
“Security and stability of the GCC countries is an indivisible part of security and stability of Kuwait,” Sheikh Al Mansour said, according to Kuwaiti newspaper Al Rai.
###
“We put all our resources at the service of our brothers in Saudi Arabia,” he added.
###
The GCC comprises Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwaiti, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar.
###
During his short visit, the Kuwaiti official met chief of the Saudi-led alliance Lt-Gen. Fahd Bin Turki Bin Abdul Aziz, the paper reported Wednesday.
###
Sheikh Al Mansour said that the Kuwaiti participation in Yemen’s Hope Restored Operation emphasizes the “concept of collective action and joint destiny”.
###
The Arab Alliance intervened in Yemen in March 2015 at the request of the country’s internationally recognised government that was toppled by Al Houthis in late 2014.
