AMMAN — HRH Crown Prince Hussein met on Sunday with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister and Chairman of the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development Abdullah Ali Al Yahya. 

During the meeting, held in the Kuwaiti capital, His Royal Highness affirmed the strength of Jordanian-Kuwaiti relations in economic and development fields, a Royal Court statement said. 

The meeting also covered ways to enhance partnerships between the two countries and accelerate the implementation of the third phase of the public education infrastructure development project, which includes the establishment of five technical and vocational schools in a number of Jordan's governorates.

Discussions also covered the progress of the rehabilitation of roads and bridges and the development of the Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Sabah Natural Gas Port, which aims to enhance Jordan's energy security.

Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Director of the Office of the Crown Prince Zaid Baqain, and Jordan’s Ambassador to Kuwait Sinan Al Majali attended the meeting.

Also during his visit to Kuwait, the Crown Prince met on Sunday with leaders of Kuwaiti media organisations.

The meeting, held in the Kuwaiti capital and attended by Minister of Information and Culture and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Abdulrahman Al Mutairi, addressed Jordanian-Kuwaiti relations, regional developments, and the role of responsible media in dealing with regional and international issues, another Royal Court statement said. 

Kuwait News Agency director general and the editors-in-chief of Al Anbaa, Al Khaleej, Annahar, Al Jarida and Al Rai newspapers attended the meeting.

Also on Sunday, Crown Prince Hussein visited Al Salam Palace Museum in Kuwait, which documents the country’s history.

Upon his arrival to the museum, His Royal Highness was received by Sheikha Muna Al Jaber Al Abdullah Al Sabah, head of the Centre for Historical Documents and Amiri Diwan Museums and Libraries, supervisor-general of Al Salam Palace Museum, a Royal Court statement said. 

The Crown Prince toured the museum and listened to a briefing by Sheikha Muna on the museum’s historical significance, established in the 1950s.

His Royal Highness signed the guestbook, emphasising the museum's personal significance for him, as it hosted the late King Hussein in 1964 as the first leader to stay in the palace, which became a museum in 2019, the statement said. 

Baqain and Jordan’s Ambassador to Kuwait Sinan Al Majali accompanied the Crown Prince on the visit.
