Kuwait’s Crown Prince Holds Talks With Hungary and Comoros Leaders in New York

During the 81st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, the Crown Prince of Kuwait, HH Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, had talks with the leaders of Hungary and the Union of the Comoros. The discussions centred on bilateral relationships and general regional and international developments.

The meetings were part of Kuwait’s diplomatic approach during the high-level of the UNGA, a venue for coordinating with its European and African partners. Sheikh Sabah Khaled has represented the Amir of Kuwait at the UN session of the General Assembly.

Talks With Hungarian Leadership

Kuwait also became involved in New York engagements due to the Crown Prince’s meetings with Hungarian leadership as an effort to keep the dialogue between the two countries going. The talks took place amid wider diplomatic efforts in the UNGA 81 as world leaders discussed global political, economic and security concerns.

Since the establishment of relations between Kuwait and Hungary, there have been bilateral cooperation and relationship-building in several fields. The UNGA meetings were another forum for officials to share perspectives and discuss opportunities for future bilateral engagement.

Strengthening Relations With Comoros

Sheikh Sabah Khaled also met the President of the Union of the Comoros, Azali Assoumani. The meeting discussed bilateral relations and the development of bilateral cooperation on different levels in addition to regional and international developments, it was reported.

The Crown Prince conveyed the message of Kuwait’s Amir to Comoros’ president and wished the Comorian people continued success and development. The meeting highlighted that there remain ongoing diplomatic ties between Kuwait and the Indian Ocean country.

Kuwait’s Wider UNGA Engagement

The talks with Hungary and Comoros formed part of a wider Kuwait’s diplomatic activity at UNGA 81. On 20 September, Sheikh Sabah held talks with UN President of the General Assembly, Khalilur Rahman.

In that meeting, the regional and international developments, dialogue, diplomacy, de-escalation, food security, peace, sustainable development, multi-lateral cooperation briefly were discussed. The president of the UN General Assembly also recognized the role played by Kuwait in the work of the United Nations and its adherence to the UN Charter.

Focus on International Cooperation

Kuwait’s role in the UNGA high-level week is testament to engagement with a wide variety of international partners and multilateral institutions. Conversations with European, African and international stakeholders enable the country to discuss bilateral relations, as well as share its perspectives on global issues.

The Crown Prince’s New York programme involves therefore both bilateral diplomacy and, as much as possible, the integration in the wider framework of multilateral norms of the United Nations agenda, particularly with respect to peace, development and international cooperation.
