CAIRO-- A visiting senior Kuwaiti official on Monday re-affirmed the State of Kuwait's keenness on bolstering joint Arab action and involving in common projects particularly at the legal level.

Ambassador Ghanim Sagr Al-Ghanim, Assistant Foreign Minister for Legal Affairs, said in a statement to KUNA on sidelines of a meeting held at the level of the Arab League Permanent Commission for Legal Affairs, that Kuwait is participating in the meeting due to significance of the committee's tasks, particularly with respect of mapping out agreements and enacting laws -- with aim of boosting the common Arab action.

Al-Ghanim, the head of the participating Kuwaiti delegation, said the committee discusses during the four-day meeting drafts for the Arab archive covenant, a charter for preserving the Arab architectural heritage and the Arab custom cooperation treaty.

Moreover, the commission looks into a MoU to establish the common joint power market, amending the constituent law of the Arab Investment Court, Al-Ghanim said indicating that these blueprints had been submitted from the Arab League agencies to the commission for examining them from a legal perspective, as well as for preparing the warranted recommendations in this respect, to be referred to ministerial-level meetings.

Al-Ghanim added that the term regarding the custom treaty was omitted, as it had been agreed upon by the Economic and Social Council during its regular session 96/2015, and had been submitted to the higher Arab authorities for working out necessary measures at the local level to join it.
