The affected nations include the Federal Republic of Myanmar, the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Lao Democratic Republic, Gabon, and Zimbabwe.

The Council of Ministers issued the decision, citing strategic considerations and diplomatic priorities. Additionally, Kuwait’s consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, located in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, was also shuttered in alignment with the decree.
