PH asks Kuwait to explain after ‘disturbing’ departure order to PH envoy

THE Kuwaiti government’s order to expel Ambassador Renato Villa is “deeply disturbing” and “inconsistent” with  Kuwaiti Ambassador to the Philippines Musaed Saleh Ahmad Althwaikh’s recent assurances to Foreign Affairs Secretary Alan Peter Cayetano, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said.

In a statement on Thursday, the DFA said it would ask the ambassador  to explain why the Kuwaiti Government reneged on the agreement reached with him to work together to move bilateral relations between the Philippines and Kuwait forward.
