The meeting, reported by Daily Sabah, covered a range of topics including the Palestine issue and the strengthening of Turkey-Kuwait relations. Notably, this visit marks the first time an Emir has visited Turkey in seven years, coinciding with the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
