His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, honored by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as ‘Humanitarian Leader’ at the UN headquarters in New York in an official ceremony Tuesday.
Sheikh Sabah, highly appreciating the honoring as a “special occasion,” said Kuwait, since its independence and gaining the UN membership, has followed a steady approach in its foreign policy, based essentially on humanitarian assistance to all needy countries “regardless of their geographic location, religious beliefs or ethnic origins.”
