National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim has invited MPs to the special sessions scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. In a press conference Sunday, Al-Ghanim disclosed that items on the agenda of the sessions include the budgets of independent institutions such as Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) and its subsidiaries; as well as the financial condition of the State and the State budget.

If needed, the discussion will continue on Thursday after the Assembly votes on the no-confidence motions against Minister of Education and Higher Education Dr Saud Al Harbi and Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior Anas Al-Saleh, Al-Ghanim added. Meanwhile, on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of naming His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah as International Humanitarian Leader by former United Nations secretary general Ban Ki-Moon; Al- Ghanim pointed out this title was not randomly bestowed on HH the Amir as it was due to the attitude of His Highness the Amir in a specific situation. He asserted His Highness the Amir was honored for all of his works, indicating the title is just an icing on the cake of the Amir’s distinguished career and accumulated positions for more than 60 years – starting from the early 1960s. He mentioned in an interview on Kuwait TV that the title granted to His Highness the Amir represented not only Ban Ki-Moon but also the latter’s predecessors including KofiAnnan, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, Javier Perez de Cuellar and Kurt Waldheim. He disclosed the aspects of the strategy adopted by His Highness the Amir include political moderation, willingness to solve issues through roundtable negotiations away from wars and devastating disputes, not interfering in the internal affairs of other countries while keen on gaining more friends based on the fundamental moral positions, and relying on international legitimacy.

He affirmed that everyone in Kuwait has adopted such a strategy with the aim of creating spaces for agreement among the disputing parties and making Kuwait as a venue for the peaceful settlement of disputes. He said he has been working closely with His Highness the Amir, so he noticed how the Amir puts humanitarian consideration on top of his priorities. He added this is the reason why His Highness the Amir hates regional wars and disputes, and he prefers solving issues through peaceful discussions and negotiations.
