GENEVA-- The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has lauded the humanitarian role undertaken by Kuwait in dealing with humanitarian crises in the region and throughout the globe.

Nicholas Hawton, the ICRC Diplomatic Advisor for the Near and Middle East, praised the Kuwaiti humanitarian record in remarks to KUNA as he emerged from a meeting with the State of Kuwait Permanent Representative at the UN and International Organizations in Geneva, Ambassador Jamal Al-Ghunaim.

Relations between the ICRC and Kuwait have been extremely distinctive and have been evolving gradually, he said, adding that his talks with the ambassador were quite positive, addressing the humanitarian situation in the Middle East and various other areas.

For his part, the ambassador told KUNA that during the meeting, Kuwait's voluntary financial contribution, worth USD three million, was delivered, affirming that it was intended to back up the international agency global humanitarian tasks.
