Kuwait's Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Al-Sabah said Sunday UN's call on Kuwait to host the third aid-pledging conference for the Syrian people reflected Kuwait's leading humanitarian role.
As many as 78 countries and 38 international groups will attend the gathering, said Sheikh Mohammad, also Chairman of the Higher Coordination Committee of Conferences.
He said Kuwait has fully honored its pledges it announced during the first and second International Pledging Humanitarian Conferences for Syria, which were held in Kuwait in 2013 and 2014.
