1st round of Yemeni-Kuwaiti Ministerial Committee put off

SANA'A, Dec. 04 (Saba) - The First round of the Yemeni-Kuwaiti Ministerial Committee, scheduled for December 3 in Yemen's commercial capital Aden, has been postponed.

The weekly September 26 reported that the delay came after the Kuwaiti government
had submitted its resignation which Kuwait's Emir accepted.

Informed sources said that once a fresh Kuwaiti government is formed a new date for
the meeting would be set by the two countries.

Two days ago, the two countries signed, in principal, a bilateral document on
cooperation in the economic, development and technical areas.

This took place at the end of a two-day meeting of the Yemeni-Kuwaiti Technical
Preparatory Committee which was held in Aden and chaired jointly by deputy minister
of Planning and International Cooperation for International Cooperation Sector
Hisham Sharaf and head of the Arab World Department at the Kuwaiti

Foreign ministry Jasim al-Mubaraki.

The document will pave the way for improving the bilateral relationship between the
two countries particularly in the investment area through providing more
facilitation for Kuwaiti investors in Yemen, Sharaf said.

The meeting discussed issues related to promoting bilateral cooperation as well as
setting up a joint committee that would be chaired by the Foreign ministers in both
countries, he said.
