Both were in tears and confused over their situation, because they suddenly found themselves on the street without shelter in difficult circumstances, as they were thrown out from their sponsor’s house on the pretext of the spread of the coronavirus. Their painful oppression made me and others wonder about the conditions of some of the work- ers who may be suffering due to the repercussions of this virus – financially and morally. It was sad to watch these women, relatively old in age, who found themselves on the street and did not know where to go and what they did wrong. They said their embassy did not receive them, so they walked aimlessly in the streets until they met the reporter and made their voices heard. They were taken to a shelter under state custody. The video was also published on social media. MP Safa Al-Hashem is seen during a session at the National Assembly on June 16, 2020. — Photo by Yasser Al-Zayyat They are safe now, but are victims of abuse by their sponsor.

GENERAL S/22535 29 April 1991 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH LETTER DATED 26 APRIL 1991 FROM THE SECRETARY-GENERAL ADDRESSED TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL In my letter of 1 March 1991 to the President of the Security Council (S/22333), I brought to his attention a letter I had received from the Permanent Representative of Kuwait requesting that a mission be dispatched immediately to that country to assess the losses of life incurred during the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait and to examine the practices by the Iraqi occupation forces against the civilian population in Kuwait. He had also requested that the team assess the damage inflicted on the general infrastructure in Kuwait. In his letter of 6 March 1991 (S/21334), the President of the Security Council informed me that members of the Council would welcome my responding positively to that request, recognising the importance of taking all actions possible to facilitate Kuwait’s reconstruction and reintegration into the interntitional economic system. Accordingly, I requested Mr. Abdulrahim A. Farah, former 'Jnder-Secretary-General, to lead a high-level United Nations mission to Kuwait. The mission visited that country from 16 March to 4 April 1991. The report of the mission on the damage sustained by the infrastructure and economy of Kuwait during the Iraqi occupation is submitted herewith for the attention of members of the Security Council.

  • Overview of Public Transport in Middle-East and North Africa
    Overview of Public Transport in Middle-East and North Africa 1st Version November 2007 Information for the reader The present report presents an overview of local public transport in a number of countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). It does not claim to be exhaustive nor a study on public transport in the region. It is a compilation of information on public transport organisation, networks and operation that was collected from UITP members and from various public sources. The pursued objective was to describe the situation in each country in a neutral way, without formulating any opinion or assessing the described public transport systems. This document is a first version. We are aware that some of the information contained in this report might be out of date or incomplete. Readers are invited to inform UITP of any new development related to public transport in the concerned countries or to complement the information. We intend to update the report in order to make it reflect the rapid development that public transport is experiencing in the MENA region. In addition, the list of contacts provided for each country offers the reader the opportunity to get in touch with the relevant organisations for further information. On behalf of UITP’s MENA Division, we thank all members who contributed to this report by providing information and data, and by lending us their support.

  • Kuwait Business Guide
    Kuwait Business Guide Compiled by: Swiss Business Hub Middle East Dubai, January 2021 ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE Because of its attraction as a labour market, Kuwait has strict visa regulations. A Swiss citizen holding a regular passport (not temporary) needs a visa (tourist or business) to enter. The applicant’s passport must have at least six months of validity. Ordinary Swiss passport holders can apply for e-visa prior to their travel to Kuwait through the following web site https://evisa.moi.gov.kw/evisa/home_e.do Holders of diplomatic, service and special passports are exempt from visa. (Entry into force of the agreement 21 July 2016) For further info, please contact the Kuwait Embassy in Bern Tel.: +41 31 356 70 00 Fax.: +41 31 356 70 01 Email: [email protected] . LANGUAGES USED FOR BUSINESS Arabic is the official language, but English is very widely used as a second language, especially in the business community. Kuwait has many foreign communities, the largest being from India, Egypt, the Philippines and other Asian nations. Swiss businessmen must make sure they send or bring with them English-language catalogues or any other printed promotion material. PUBLIC HOLIDAYS There are 13 days of public holidays around the year, of which only three are timed on the Gregorian calendar. The other holidays are in observance of holy Islamic feasts and these follow the Hijri (lunar) calendar, which is 11 days shorter than the Gregorian. Thus, these holidays keep shifting 11 days backward every year. A foreign visitor needs to check out just 2–3 weeks ahead of his/her visit.

    Kuwait National Report To the United Nations Conference On Housing and Sustainable Urban Development 17 - 20 October 2016, Quito, Republic of Ecuador. Kuwait National Report for the Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) 2 Foreword environmental sustainability are our most central themes. In Kuwait, as a wealthy oil-exporting country, the questions we need to address are the following: are we able to provide housing for the Kuwaiti population and achieve sustainable urban development in our city-state in the best way we can? And are we supporting the sustainable development of developing and least developed countries in the best way it can? In his speech delivered at the United Nations Summit to adopt the post-2015 development agenda held during 25-27 September 2015, His Highness the Amir of Kuwait, Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, said that the state of Kuwait has spared no effort in its attempts to provide development aid to developing countries and least developed countries through its various institutions, most notably through The Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development, providing the necessary loans and grants to establish infrastructure projects in these countries. In actual fact, my country has continued in its provision of development assistance in measures amounting to 2.1 % of the GDP, more than double the internationally ts of oil. As we look forward to further national development, the question of diversification of the economy becomes even more essential. On several occasions, His Highness the Amir has pointed out his vision for the State of Kuwait for 2035, reaffirming that "we can no longer be solely dependent on the resource of oil for our national income.
