He specifically praised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its diplomatic coordination with other Arab nations to rally necessary support for the Kuwaiti bids.
Regarding the implications of the new appointments, Al-Tabtabaei noted that Al-Khalidi’s chairmanship of the Executive Council presents a significant opportunity to enhance the organization’s institutional work, governance, and overall performance.
