| Kuwait's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Muhammad al-Sabah on Tuesday extoled South Africa's advancement in science and technology and expressed GCC's interest in harnessing that advancement for the peaceful use of nuclear power in water desalination. Speaking here at a joint press conference with his South African counterpart Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the Kuwaiti guest emphasized that his visit to this country was not only to foster stronger ties between Kuwait and South Africa but also between South Africa and member states of the GCC. He said his talks with officials here dealt with, among other things, the role South Africa could assume in resolving regional conflicts. Dlamini-Zuma, on her part, underscored the increasing growth of mutual ties with Kuwait, pointing to the existence of myriad Kuwaiti investment projects in her country, concentrated mostly in the real estate and hotels sector. She indicated that she discussed with Sheikh Muhammad disparate issues, among them being the situation in Iraq, Iran, Palestine, and the Commoro Islands. Sheikh Muhammad announced that he had passed on an invitation to President Thabo Mbeki to visit Kuwait and that he had accepted the invitation. The visit should take place some time this year. |
