Otaibi expressed Kuwait's support to the message by the Bahraini envoy to the UN, in his capacity as head of the group of Arab nations in the UN, which he sent on October 31, 2013 to president of the UN General Assembly John Ash, in which the Bahraini envoy noted that any expansion in the seats on the UNSC should take into account Arab representation as permanent members. In summation of his speech to the General Assembly, Ambassador Al-Otaibi underscored the imperative that negotiations among world governments should precede any expansion or reforms done to the UNSC. -- SPA 20:48 LOCAL TIME 17:48 GMT تغريد
