National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim held talks in Istanbul, Turkiye, on Monday, with the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkiye Mustafa Sentop, discussing bilateral cooperation ties between the Kuwaiti and Turkish parliaments and the latest developments in the region.

The talks came on the sidelines of the parliamentary conference on migration, organized by the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in line with the Turkish Parliament, under the auspices of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, according to a statement issued by Al-Dustour news.

The two sides discussed updates on the issues of Kuwaiti investors in Turkiye, which Al-Ghanim previously discussed with Turkish officials in the past, the statement added.

Al-Ghanim thanked the Turkish authorities for solving many of the real estate fraud issues suffered by some Kuwaiti investors and citizens, while looking forward to solving the remaining similar issues.

Ambassador of Kuwait to Turkiye Ghassan Al-Zawawi and Kuwait’s Consul General in Istanbul Mohammad Al-Mohammad attended the meeting.

On the sidelines of the conference, Al-Ghanim met the Head of the Iraqi parliamentary delegation Evan Faeq Jabro, where they discussed bilateral cooperation between the Kuwaiti and Iraqi parliaments.

The Iraqi parliamentary delegation conveyed the greetings of the Speaker of the Iraqi Parliament Mohammad Al-Halbousi to Al-Ghanim.

Two Iraqi MPs, Vian Dakhil and Basima Basim, attended the meeting.

Al-Ghanim’s participation in the conference, which discusses the subject of international agreements on issues of migration and refugees, was a response to an official invitation from his Turkish counterpart.

The Kuwaiti parliament’s invitation to the conference also comes from the fact that Kuwait is one of the main donor countries in the world for refugee issues, especially the issue of Syrian refugees.
