Kuwait Ambassador to India Jassem Al-Najm hailed a significant the role the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) plays in addressing regional and international challenges.
Some members of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) joined the SCO as dialogue partners out of realization of the increasingly crucial role of the Organization in promoting cooperation among its member countries, he told KUNA on Thursday.
Ambassador Al-Najm made the comments while attending a celebration held by the Indian Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi to mark the issuance of a SCO postcard.
On his part, Undersecretary of the Indian Ministry of External Affairs for Economic Affairs Dammu Ravi highlighted the importance of boosting regional cooperation to promote security and stability.
In an address to the audience, he said India, as current president of the SCO, is working hard to address the obstacles facing the flow of community and supply chains, notably regional conflicts.
New Delhi is setting the stage for hosting the SCO Summit in early July, Ravi added.
The State of Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, as well as the Maldives and Myanmar signed memoranda of understanding for joining the SCO as dialogue partners during the SCO foreign ministers' meeting held in Panaji city, west India, on May 4-5.
