He stressed that the Kuwaiti-UAE ties see an across-the-board significant advance, which is reflected in the mutual beneficial coordination between the two sides in regional and international forums on issues of common interest.

For her part, Her Excellency Dr. Bibi Alamiri, PADA’s Director General, praised the strategic partnership and fruitful cooperation between PADA and ZHO. “We appreciate this step by ZHO and we are eager for more joint cooperation between the two sides for the benefit of people of determination in our two countries and in the countries of the region”, she said, stressing that the bilateral UAE-Kuwaiti relations have seen milestones of excellence that have directly playing a great role in reinforcing and advancing these relations, whether at the bilateral level or through the course of the GCC, in a manner that realizes the interests of the two brotherly countries
She added, “We aim to transfer experiences between the two sides, develop joint strategic programs and benefit from them, and develop walks of cooperation for the benefit of people of determination in the two brotherly countries to expand and include education, employment, rehabilitation, culture, arts and social services, a matter which reflects the remarkable development between Kuwait and the UAE in all areas. This relationship is an example of the deeply-rooted ties between the two countries and their common history. Moreover, this step encourages Gulf tourism”.
