His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, arrived in Kuwait to offer condolences to the Emir of Kuwait on the death of Sheikh Sabah Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah.
Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid was received by Emir Sheikh Nawaf Al Ahmad Al Sabah.
Sheikh Mohammed conveyed the sincere condolences of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, to Sheikh Nawaf on the death of his half brother Sheikh Sabah.
Sheikh Mohammed prayed to Almighty Allah Almighty to grant solace and strength to the family.
The Dubai Ruler was accompanied by Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, and Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Aviation Authority, and Supreme Chairman of the Aviation Group in the UAE.
Sheikh Sabah died on Tuesday.
Sheikh Sabah, 91, had ruled the Gulf Arab state and US ally since 2006 and steered its foreign policy for more than 50 years.
Sheikh Sabah sought to balance relations with Kuwait's bigger neighbours — forging the closest ties with Saudi Arabia, rebuilding links with former occupier Iraq and keeping open dialogue with Iran.
