CEBU 30 April 2018 - We welcome the statement of Kuwait Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah conveying his Government’s readiness to work with us in addressing the concerns of overseas Filipino workers in Kuwait.

 

This gesture on the part of Kuwait, a country with which we have a shared history and strong people-to-people ties, will allow us to move forward and hurdle the challenges we face.

 

We acknowledge with heartfelt thanks the assurances of Kuwait to work with us in protecting the rights and promoting the welfare of Filipinos working there. This is a shared goal that should be pursued with willingness to understand and respect where each side is coming from.

 

We affirm our friendship with the government of Kuwait and its people. The strength of that friendship will withstand this misunderstanding. END
