The Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah held separate meetings with each envoy during the credential presentation ceremony. The diplomats were Chhay Makara of Cambodia, Mohammad Al-Zuabi of Antigua and Barbuda and Kim Jang Hyun of the Republic of Korea. Sheikh Jarrah wished each ambassador success in fulfilling their duties while expressing hope that bilateral relations with the three countries would see further development and prosperity. The event took place at the ministry’s headquarters in Kuwait City as part of routine diplomatic procedures.
According to the ministry, such receptions allow new representatives to assume their roles formally and open channels for enhanced cooperation across economic, cultural and political domains. The minister held discussions with the envoys on potential areas where ties could expand in the coming years. A similar event occurred in January 2025 when the ministry received ten non-resident ambassadors, KUNA reported at the time. These ceremonies form a regular part of Kuwait’s diplomatic calendar.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs noted that the new ambassador from the Republic of Korea arrives as the two countries maintain active partnerships in energy and technology sectors. Kuwait has engaged with South Korea on multiple joint initiatives over recent decades. Sheikh Jarrah encouraged the envoy to build upon this foundation during his tenure. The ambassador conveyed greetings from his government and a desire to advance shared objectives.
For the representatives of Cambodia and Antigua and Barbuda, the presentations mark an occasion to broaden existing relations that span trade and people-to-people exchanges. The ministry statement indicated that the minister urged both envoys to pursue opportunities that benefit all sides. Each meeting concluded with mutual commitments to sustain positive momentum in the bilateral frameworks. Kuwait maintains diplomatic ties with nations across every continent through such engagements.
KUNA has covered dozens of comparable credential events in the past two years alone as Kuwait sustains its global outreach. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs coordinates these procedures to ensure seamless integration of new diplomats into the local corps. Sheikh Jarrah reiterated the importance of constructive dialogue in all interactions with foreign missions. Senior ministry officials attended the sessions to oversee protocol arrangements.
