First Kuwaiti ambassador to Sudan since the Gulf war

The Sudanese president on Saturday received the credentials of the first Kuwaiti ambassador in Sudan since the Gulf war in 1990.

Ambassador Fahd Ahmad Muhammad al-Awadi handed over his credentials to the Sudanese President in a gesture aiming at raising the diplomatic representation between the two states after this post has been vacant through the past years, when Kuwait withdrew its ambassador from Khartoum in protest of Sudan's position which was sympathetic to Iraq during the Gulf crisis
