The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry emphatically condemned recent statements by Sweden's Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom against the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. According to KUNA, "the remarks by the Foreign Minister of Sweden are considered a blatant interference in the internal and sovereign affairs of the Kingdom and encroachment upon its judicial system, something which contradicts rules of the international law regarding non-interference in countries' domestic affairs, as well as diplomatic norms that state that the sovereignty of countries must be respected," an official source at the Kuwait Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The source reiterated Kuwait's support for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, emphasizing that "interference in the internal affairs of any GCC member state is deemed interference in the affairs of all other member states".
