KUWAIT CITY, April 17: Recent discussions between Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates have yielded significant outcomes aimed at bolstering bilateral cooperation in security matters. A key focus of these discussions was the prevention of deported individuals from reentering either country using forged documents, reports Al-Rai daily. High-level representatives, including Lieutenant General Sheikh Salem Al-Nawaf from Kuwait’s Ministry of Interior, engaged in fruitful talks with an UAE security delegation. The primary agenda included enhancing coordination in managing the deportation process and sharing crucial information electronically to prevent deportees from circumventing immigration controls.

Additionally, discussions addressed the longstanding traffic link between the two nations, which has been operational for over a year.
