Former US President George Bush and members of his accompanying delegation arrived in Kuwait on Tuesday for a two-day visit. Bush will hold talks during his visit with high-ranking state officials on regional and international issues.

Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Jaber al-Ahmad al-Sabah on Tuesday received Bush and members of his delegation. Present at the meeting were Kuwaiti Crown Prince Sheikh Saad al-Abdullah al-Sabah, high-ranking Kuwaiti officials and the US ambassador to Kuwait.

This is Bush's second visit to Kuwait since the liberation of the Gulf state from Iraqi troops. Earlier in the morning Bush concluded a five-day visit to Saudi Arabia, during which he met with King Fahd Bin Abdul Aziz and Crown Prince Abdullah.

During his visit to Jeddah and Riyadh, Bush met with several economic and cultural activists. On Monday he gave a lecture at King Abdul Aziz Library in Riyadh on the reasons behind the fall of the Soviet Union. The lecture was attended by high-ranking Saudi officials, princes and ministers.
