KUWAIT: On the occasion of the 50th Independence Day and 20th Liberation Day anniversaries and the fifth year of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah's assumption of power, Al Watan Daily took comments from some diplomats regarding this occasion.
Juma Al-Abbadi, Ambassador of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan to Kuwait said, "I take this opportunity on behalf of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, His Majesty the King, government and people to congratulate His Highness the Amir, Crown Prince, Honored Al-Sabah Family and the noble Kuwaiti people."
Al-Abbadi expressed his gratitude to the generous initiative of the Amir to establish the fund of small and medium enterprises with a capital of two billion US dollars, where Jordan was honored to join and contribute to this fund. He also thanked Kuwait for the care and attention to the Jordanian community.
French ambassador to Kuwait Nada Yafi asserted that France will share with Kuwait its happiness as President Nicolas Sarkozy asserted in the message he sent to the Amir. She added, "France is committed to the safety of Kuwait and participated in the Liberation of Kuwait as a member of the Security council," describing Kuwait as friendly country and a key ally in which France has a defense and other civil treaties including the environment protection convection.
British ambassador to Kuwait Frank Baker said, "I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate His Highness the Amir and the people of Kuwait on Kuwait's 50th Independence Day and 20th Liberation Day anniversaries and the fifth anniversary of His Highness the Amir's accession. I wish all of you happiness, progress, peace and prosperity. This year is a great opportunity for us both to celebrate the uniquely close ties between the United Kingdom and Kuwait."
He added, "I am delighted that the U.K. will be represented by Sir John Major the British Prime Minister during the liberation. He will be joined by former cabinet colleagues and servicemen who were involved in the operation.

On his part, Ton Boon von Ochssée, Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands stated, "I would like to congratulate the Amir and the people of Kuwait with the celebrations of 50 years of independence and 20 years of liberation from the Iraqi invasion."
"The Netherlands have always felt a strong relationship with Kuwait and have stood aside it in good and difficult times. The longstanding and excellent relationship goes back to the 16th century when the Dutch Trading Company was sailing in the Gulf region. We are both small but influential countries in an important political and economic region," said the ambassador.
Fadey Charchoghlian, the Armenian ambassador to Kuwait said, "On behalf of the people of the Republic of Armenia and myself personally I would like to congratulate the State and the people of Kuwait. The relationship between Kuwaitis and Armenians are deeply rooted in history. We both came through the difficult historical moments. Today our relations have entered into a new stage of development. Opening of the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in the State of Kuwait is a landmark in the history of Armenia.
The Right Honorable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada said in his Congratulatory message that Canada congratulates the Amir and its people, while stressing that Canada is proud to support Kuwait during the past years.
Austrian Ambassador to KuwaitMarian A. Wrba congratulated Kuwait on its celebrations and said, "The path Kuwait took in these 50 years of steady progress and development is outstanding. Wise guidance and leadership made Kuwait a strong and internationally most respected state and enabled the Kuwaiti people to utilize the fruits of these achievements for their own benefit. May the people of Kuwait continue to enjoy peace, prosperity and happiness in the years to come. Austria is proud to have ambassadors with Kuwait since 1973 and to be represented with an Embassy in Kuwait since 1979. Austria is happy to see her red-white-red flag flying among the flags of the nations that contributed to the liberation of Kuwait and to have been invited to join the festivities on Feb. 26."
Australina Ambassador to Kuwai Glenn Miles said "On behalf of the Australian Government and people, I congratulate Kuwait. These events represent a milestone in Kuwait's history, one that all Kuwaitis can be proud of. Our forces were proud to stand alongside those of Kuwait during the liberation, Australia and Kuwait continue to share a deep commitment to peace and stability. Our relations are underpinned by our strong commercial ties and, more importantly, expanding people to people links. Australians first came to Kuwait in the 1930s and have been coming back ever since."
