KUWAIT CITY, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- The historic ties between Kuwait and Britain have stood the test of time, said Kuwait's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah on Wednesday.
He made the remarks at a ceremony marking 120 years since the Anglo-Kuwaiti agreement "sparked a robust partnership" between the two sides that stands to this day, the Kuwaiti minister said, noting that the bilateral relations between the two countries have grown stronger over the years.
"Britain has proven to be a trustworthy partner over the years and has stood by Kuwait through thick and thin," he emphasized, saying that history is dotted with such instances.
The Anglo-Kuwaiti Agreement of 1899 served as the launchpad for Britain's contributions toward security and peace in Kuwait, he said.
