KUWAIT: Minister of Education Sayed Jalal Al-Tabtabaei on Friday congratulated two Kuwaitis on winning senior posts at the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO).

Assistant Undersecretary for Administrative, Financial and Technical Affairs at the ministry Eng Mohammad Al-Khalidi won the chairmanship of ALECSO’s Executive Council, while Dr Tareq Al-Ghareeb was elected assistant director general.

Al-Tabtabaei received Al-Khalidi, Al-Ghareeb and their accompanying delegation at Kuwait International Airport on their return from ALECSO’s General Conference in the Omani capital Muscat.

In a statement, the minister said the achievement was a source of national pride and reflected the trust Arab countries place in Kuwaiti talent and its ability to take on leadership roles and contribute to Arab educational, cultural and scientific work.

He said it was the fruit of the political leadership’s support for national talent and its keenness to strengthen Kuwait’s standing in regional and international forums.

Al-Tabtabaei praised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its diplomatic efforts and coordination with Arab countries to rally support for the Kuwaiti candidates.

He said Al-Khalidi’s chairmanship of the Executive Council offered an important opportunity to help develop the organization’s institutional work, strengthen governance and improve performance, while Al-Ghareeb’s appointment would add Kuwaiti expertise to ALECSO’s executive management. — KUNA
