KUWAIT CITY, Dec 13, (KUNA): Kuwait National Security Apparatus Chief Sheikh Thamer Al-Ali Al-Sabah stressed on the importance of the strong ties between Kuwait and the NATO Defense College since 2010. The official’s remarks were made during a dinner banquet he held in the honor of the college’s Vision of the Commandant Major General Janusz Bojarski late Saturday — during his visit to Kuwait. Sheikh Thamer expressed his pride over having the first Kuwaiti representative in NATO’s Senior Course, held for the second time in four years, and the acceptance of a second Kuwaiti participant for the upcoming training course (Senior course 128).

The center will be the first of its kind in the Middle East region, Sheikh Thamer added. The launching of the NATO’s center comes in time where the region is facing many security challenges including the political developments in Libya, Egypt and Yemen, the humanitarian crisis in Syria and the growing terrorist role of the socalled Islamic State (ISIL), the Chief noted. On his part, Major General Bojarski said that the visit is part of a two-week field study, adding that the two sides will discuss cooperation in the information exchange field.

KUWAIT CITY: Minister of Health Dr Ali Al-Obaidi stressed on Sunday the Ministry is having zero tolerance and imposing laws on all companies, bodies and public societies exploiting state-owned lands surrounding governmental hospitals and clinics, besides any facilities of the Ministry without legal document. He added in press statement that in protection of the states’ rights and public money, the Ministry adopted a number of legal measures to face such violations of exploiting lands affiliated to the Ministry facilities. The ministry officially addressed such bodies last October indicating that exploiting any lands affiliated to the Ministry should be followed after offering a bid according to the conditions and criteria of legal, administrative, and technical and health terms, instructed by the Ministry of Finance. The revenues of using any such lands should only go to the state’s income as such facilities are considered public properties, according to the legal measures followed in the country, he said.
