The Cabinet stressed the necessity of abidance by health instructions in this regard and working as a teamwork to face and eradicate this epidemic. The Cabinet discussed the recommendations of the public services committee on the labor city and other topics.

Furthermore, the Cabinet discussed the political affairs in light of the current developments on the political arena on both Arab and international levels. The council of ministers expressed Kuwait’s condemnation and denunciation of Houthi militias’ repeated attempts aiming to target some Saudi cities, pointing to the Houthis’ attack with a booby-trapped drone on Saudi Arabia on Sunday, expressing satisfaction about the destruction of these attacks by the coalition forces.
The Cabinet reiterated Kuwait’s support to Saudi Arabia in all measures it takes to defend its territories, and maintain its security and stability. It affirmed its rejection to those criminal attacks that reflect the persistence of the militias in increasing tension in the region and undermining the peace endeavors. On Iran, the Cabinet congratulated new Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi on being elected as the country’s leaders. It wished further success and achievements in Iran under the new leader’s leadership, hoping that the Iranian-Gulf ties would witness further improvement and cooperation as well as enhance confidence to achieve common interests and back the region’s stability.
