‘We must work together’

KUWAIT CITY, June 28: US Ambassador to Kuwait Alina L. Romanowski praises Kuwait’s continuing efforts over the past year to combat the scourge of human trafficking.

Commenting on the US Foreign Affairs report on human trafficking, Ambassador Romanowski urged to read the part concerning Kuwait, highlighting the steps taken by the Kuwaiti government to combat human trafficking.

She explained that the report included recommendations to help Kuwait fully comply with the basic international standards in this regard.

Those recommendations include genuine and serious reforms to the sponsorship- based recruitment system, and increased law enforcement efforts to investigate, pursue, prosecute and convict human traffickers, including Kuwaiti citizens and colluding officials.

The ambassador said, “Human trafficking has no place in modern society. We must work together to change trends and implement the necessary reforms to eliminate it.”
