Foreign Minister Dr AK Abdul Momen will leave Dhaka for Kuwait tomorrow (Monday) to convey deep condolence of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina over the death of Kuwait Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah.
The foreign minister will leave for Kuwait on Monday and return on the next day, December 19, a Foreign Ministry official said.
Sheikh Nawaf, whose six-decade career in public service primarily focused on domestic issues, was buried today following a prayer service in Kuwait, reports BSS.
The ruling emir of oil-rich Kuwait died on Saturday at the aged 86 after three years in power marked by repeated political disputes.
Following Sheikh Nawaf's death, his half-brother, Crown Prince Sheikh Meshaal al-Ahmad al-Jaber al-Sabah, 83, was swiftly named the new emir.
