Waleed Al-Bahar stated that his fund is prepared to participate in the International Conference on Reconstruction of Ukraine. The conference is scheduled for the end of June. According to Waleed Al-Bahar, cooperation with Ukraine is one of the fund’s priorities.
- the construction of new hospitals, schools, and kindergartens
- the development of psychological support and rehabilitation programs for war-affected Ukrainians
In the near future, a meeting of experts from both countries is expected to take place in order to discuss the potential for cooperation in depth.
“In the overall context of post-war reconstruction, Ukraine is likely to become the world’s largest construction site,” emphasized Kuleba.
It is important to note that the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development is a government agency that provides financial and technological assistance to developing nations.
The Fund was established in 1961. It uses a portion of oil export revenues to provide developing nations with financial and technological assistance. The Fund operates under the leadership of Kuwait’s Minister of Foreign Affairs.
