The Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al Sabah, stressed the need for cohesion among Kuwaitis to achieve reform, underlining the importance of national unity in protecting the country and facing challenges.

In his speech on the occasion of the last ten days of the blessed month of Ramadan, delivered on his behalf by Crown Prince Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad Al Sabah, and broadcast on state television, the Emir addressed the Kuwaitis, saying: “Your unity and high spirit are the most powerful weapon to preserve our dear homeland.”

He added that national unity was a fence that protects Kuwaitis and their country, and “a fortress against adversity and challenges.”

“You know that reform has steps and paths, and that it does not happen overnight. It will still require great effort, patience, solidarity and cohesion from a loyal and authentic people,” the Emir underlined.

He also affirmed that Kuwait would “remain an oasis of security and safety and a source of goodness and peace, always looking forward to more renaissance and progress, based on its Gulf and international role, along with its brothers and friends in various parts of the world.”

“We will spare no effort to protect the capabilities and gains of our beloved homeland, and we will not hesitate to make any decision that guarantees the country’s security and stability, in light of our genuine democratic approach, our sound constitution, and our ancient customs and norms,” the Emir concluded.

The Saudi government condemned on Tuesday Israel’s decision to West Bank lands as "state lands."

Reiterating its absolute rejection of these illegal measures, the Cabinet warned that they undermine peace efforts and violate the Palestinian people's inherent right to establish an independent, sovereign state within the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud chaired the Cabinet session that was held in Riyadh.

The Cabinet congratulated citizens and Muslims on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan, expressing gratitude for the Kingdom's honor in caring for the two holy mosques and their visitors.

The Cabinet highlighted the success of the Hajj and Umrah seasons, noting that the Kingdom welcomed 19.5 million international pilgrims and Umrah performers in 2025, setting new records that reflect rapid progress toward the goals of Vision 2030 and the Pilgrim Experience Program.

The Cabinet described the Kingdom's Founding Day celebration on February 22 as an expression of pride in the Saudi state's nearly three-century history, underscoring the foundations of justice, unity, and development established by leaders and citizens throughout history to ensure the nation remains a global leader in all fields.

The Cabinet was briefed on recent talks between Saudi Arabia and various nations, which focused on strengthening bilateral and multilateral cooperation and boosting coordination to foster regional and international security, stability, and prosperity.

The session further reviewed the Kingdom's economic, cultural, and social activities, stressing the state's commitment to social solidarity and giving. This includes continued support for the sixth National Campaign for Charitable Work, set to begin on Friday.

The Cabinet commended the success of the third World Defense Show held in Riyadh under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques' patronage, during which strategic partnerships, agreements, and memoranda of understanding were signed to localize military technologies and strengthen local supply chains in alignment with Vision 2030 objectives.
