— Armenia expressed gratitude Tuesday to Kuwait for its support to
Syrian refugees who fled to Armenia to escape the civil conflict in
their homeland.
In a press statement a copy of which sent to KUNA, the Kuwait Embassy
in Armenia said that the Armenian Minister of Diaspora Hranush Hakobian
has conferred Kuwait Ambassador Bassam Mohammed Al-Qabandi with the
Ministry’s Golden Emblem in recognition of Kuwait’s role in helping
Armenia accommodate Syrian refugees.
For his part, Ambassador Al-Qabandi thanked the Armenian Minister
Hakobian on the decoration. He highlighted Kuwait’s important role
in offering aid to Syrian refugees inside and outside Syria.
He noted that early this year, Kuwait hosted the first international
Syria donors conference which raised USD 1.5 billion in aid pledges,
including USD 300 donated by Kuwait.
Al-Qabandi also shed lights on the role of the International Islamic
Charity Organization in distributing Kuwaiti aid to Syrian refugees.
