Addressing a foreign ministryhosted workshop germane to this issue, Kuwait’s Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah spoke of a strategy to rehabilitate the former fighters after they are guaranteed a fair trial. On Kuwait’s efforts to address the issue, he said that tremendous headway has been made in the fight against terrorism and extremism, a matter he pointed out was of paramount significance to the Kuwaiti leadership.

The statement was delivered by Assistant Foreign Minister for Development and International Cooperation Affairs Ambassador Nasser Al- Sabeeh on behalf of Al-Jarallah. Al-Jarallah said that this workshop proves Kuwait’s determination to ensure that peace and stability is restored to areas where conflict runs rampant.
