DOHA, Nov 3 (KUNA) -- Kuwait has expressed its determination to hold a donor conference to back education in Somalia next year, Assistant Foreign Minister for International Organizations
Affairs Ambassador Nasser Al-Hayen said on Sunday.
Speaking before a ministerial meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Somalia, Al-Hayen affirmed Kuwait's support to Somalia and keenness on coordinating and intensifying
efforts with brothers to maintain Somalia's security and territorial integrity.
Through its non-permanent membership at the UN Security Council, Kuwait has spared nor effort in urging the international community for further efforts to back brotherly Somalian people,

and security within the framework of respecting the sovereignty of the countries in accordance with international laws and conventions, the ambassador noted. He pointed to progress made by the Somalian government in managing weapons and ammunition it received.
Somalia has suffered more due to the political sequences, deterioration and instability that hinder required development rates, Al-Hayen said.

create a proper environment supportive to the elected Somali government.
The Kuwaiti diplomat stressed his country's backing to the resolutions supporting Somalia's
security, safety and territorial integrity in all international forums.
He commended Qatar's efforts on supporting building the central state in Somalia to ensure security and stability, and improve the economic and development environment, and infrastructure.
He also lauded Qatar's effective response to the humanitarian and development needs of Somalia's people.
