IOM lauds Kuwait’s humanitarian efforts
Kuwait:
The head of the International Organization for
Migration’s mission in Kuwait, Mazen Abulhesen on Saturday affirmed Kuwait’s
support for the IOM humanitarian operations throughout the globe for decades. In
a press release, Abulhesen said that Kuwait has generously backed the operations
in Afghanistan, Ukraine and Pakistan, securing aid for thousands of refugees and
relocated peoples.
Kuwait participated, in May, in the international forum for revising
immigration, held at the UN headquarters, he said, adding that it was an
occasion to celebrate successes and discuss challenges facing states in
implementing the Global Compact for Migration, adopted in 2018. He affirmed in
this regard Kuwait’s adherence to attaining the charter objectives, in tandem
with its national policies at this level. The IOM mission in Kuwait is
celebrating the International Migrants Day, screening films to students and
supporting a blood donation campaign, locally. The international occasion is
marked on December 18 every year.
