Kuwait has recalled its ambassador in Syria for consultation, the country's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah said, KUNA reported. "Kuwait has decided to recall its ambassador in Damascus for consultation," the Kuwaiti deputy prime minister and foreign minister told reporters following a parliamentary meeting. In its statement, Kuwait had voiced much dismay at continuing bloodshed in Syria, and had called for dialogue and a political solution to the crisis that should envision genuine reforms in order to fulfill the legitimate demands of the Syrian people, and should avert security solutions. He condemned bloodshed involving over 2,000 Syrians as "unacceptable". The Kuwaiti official, meanwhile, hailed the recent wise position and deep message of Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz, in which he called on Syrian officials to stop bloodshed and to resort to wisdom and reconciliation with the people instead. He reiterated his country's support for the Saudi position, given that the security option should be given up and bloodshed be halted.
