Inshallah, this bond will remain strong forever,” he said. He emphasized that the two countries’ relationship is both geographically and brotherly rooted, likening it to that of “uncle and nephew,” stressing it is built on mutual respect. On the upcoming Kuwait-Iraq football match Sheikh Faisal wished success to both teams indicating “there are no losers in such a match. However, I do hope for a victory for Kuwait.”

Sheikh Khaled Al-Bader Al-Mohammad also spoke at the event, affirming it is an honor to attend the reception at the invitation of the Iraqi Ambassador. “We are delighted to meet and connect with our diplomatic and Kuwaiti brothers,” he said.

Any country that advances to the finals represents the other, as we share the same hopes and aspirations.”
