Turkish president receives crown prince of Kuwait for talks in US

WASHINGTON

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday received the new crown prince of the Gulf state of Kuwait in the US for talks.

The closed-door meeting between Erdogan and Sheikh Sabah Khaled al-Sabah at the Turkish House came on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

In June, Kuwait’s ruling emir, Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmad Al Jaber, appointed al-Sabah, who previously served as the country’s prime minister and as foreign minister.

Türkiye enjoys multifaceted relations with Kuwait based on shared cultural and historical ties.
