Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah expressed on Saturday his gratitude and appreciation to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz for Saudi Arabia’s efforts in resolving the Gulf dispute.

In a message to King Salman, he hailed the role played by Saudi Arabia, under his wise leadership, in helping reach a historic achievement that is finding a final solution to the dispute between the Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt with Qatar.

Saudi Arabia’s acting on behalf of the UAE, Bahrain and Egypt reflects the Kingdom’s prestigious standing and pioneering role in supporting the security and stability of the region, he continued.

It also reflects its keenness on unity amid the pressing challenges in the world and region, he added.

Resolving the rift “will be an achievement that restores Gulf and Arab unity against challenges raging in the entire world,” said Sheikh Nawaf.

He also cited the efforts exerted by his brother, late Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, in resolving the dispute.

The Saudi Ministry of Interior announced on Tuesday that expatriates who fail to leave the Kingdom after their entry visas expire may face a fine of up to SAR50,000, imprisonment for up to six months, and deportation.

The ministry emphasized the importance of adhering to the Kingdom’s official Hajj and Umrah guidelines and instructions.

Earlier this month, the ministry announced several arrangements and procedures aimed at allowing pilgrims to perform the Hajj rituals safely and smoothly.

It set April 29 as the final day for Umrah visa holders to leave the Kingdom.

Starting Wednesday, residents within the Kingdom wishing to enter Makkah will be required to obtain permits from the relevant authorities.

Residents without proper permits will be barred from entering the city and returned to their original destination.
