KUWAIT, June 12 (KUNA) -- Russian Ambassador to Kuwait Vladimir Zheltov praises as "solid and historic the relations between his country and the State of Kuwait, saying the relations are based on mutual understanding and mutual respect, and common interests." The wise leadership of Kuwait maintain a balanced approach to dealing with various regional and international issues, he said in a speech to a ceremony hosted by his embassy on Thursday.
Kuwait's Assistant Foreign Minister for European Affairs Sadiq Marafi and a number of senior diplomats and dignitaries attended the ceremony marking Russia's national day.
Zheltov said that "Kuwait was the first GCC country to have diplomatic relations with Russia in 1963" reviewing historical milestones that began at the beginning of the twentieth century "when Russian ships visited the State of Kuwait during the reign of Sheikh Mubarak." He also said, "Russia's national day, which has only been in existence for 35 years, links the present to a rich past that spans more than a thousand years." On the sidelines of the ceremony Sadiq Marafi briefed the press saying that the relations between Russia and Kuwait have spanned since 1963, and that he is looking forward for more cooperation in the future.
Regarding investment opportunities, Ambassador Marafi said, "A joint committee will convene on the sidelines of the energy summit to discuss investment opportunities," noting the "noble growth in tourism between the two countries in the recent years." aa.aq

AIIB membership opens new financing path for Kuwait
Move follows new public debt law, aligns with national infrastructure agenda: Analysts KUWAIT: Kuwait has officially joined the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) as a full member, becoming the 111th country to join the China-founded multilateral lender. The announcement was made during the bank's 10th annual meeting, held in Beijing from June 24 to 26, where Kuwait was represented by Saad Al-Rasheedi, Director of the Department of International Economic Cooperation. The move is seen as a strategic milestone, aligning Kuwait's development financing agenda with one of the world's fastest-growing multilateral banks focused on sustainable infrastructure, energy, and digital connectivity. Kuwait's participation was formalized through Decree No 66 of 2025, ratified in early May. Kuwait's Ambassador to China, Jasem Al-Najem, welcomed the development, saying it will strengthen Kuwait's role in international partnerships, particularly in infrastructure, energy, and transportation. 'This step enhances Kuwait's global position in multilateral development financing,' he told KUNA. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Beijing, the AIIB has grown into a key global player, with over 100 member states and more than $60 billion in approved infrastructure financing. The bank is expanding its presence in the Middle East, having opened its first overseas office in Abu Dhabi in 2023, and launching major partnerships with Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Green financing Although Kuwait has not yet received direct funding from the AIIB, its accession reflects a broader shift in its fiscal policy. In March 2025, the government enacted Law No 60 on Liquidity and Public Debt, introducing a KD 30 billion debt ceiling and enabling the issuance of sovereign instruments with maturities of up to 50 years. The law is designed to provide long-term financial stability and expand access to international capital. Finance Minister Noura Al-Fassam described the law as key to Kuwait's economic reform agenda. 'This marks a crucial step toward building a diversified and sustainable economy that benefits both the state and its citizens,' she told KUNA in March. Faisal Al-Muzaini, Director of Public Debt Management, said the new framework would help fund infrastructure and development projects—potentially in partnership with institutions like the AIIB—and boost Kuwait's profile as an investment destination. Commentary from Kuwaiti law firm ASAR in May noted that joining the AIIB signals Kuwait's intent to play a more active role in green financing and global infrastructure development, especially in priority sectors like renewable energy and power generation. Analysts say this complements the public debt law, which paves the way for blended financing models involving both traditional and multilateral sources. With a wave of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) being reactivated—such as the Zour North Phases 2 and 3 Independent Water and Power Plants and KDIPA's economic zones—AIIB membership is expected to provide both funding and technical support, ASAR analysts said. The move also reflects Kuwait's deepening ties with China. Over recent years, the two countries have signed multiple memoranda of understanding related to infrastructure, energy, and logistics—sectors that overlap with AIIB's core investment areas. Following GCC's lead Kuwait's accession comes as the GCC as a whole strengthens its relationship with the AIIB, which now includes all six Gulf countries as members. The bank's growing presence in the region reflects increasing demand for infrastructure investment that supports economic diversification, energy transition, and digital transformation—key elements in Vision 2035, Saudi Vision 2030, and UAE's Net Zero 2050. AIIB financing typically takes the form of sovereign loans, equity investments, and PPP arrangements, with a focus on financially sustainable, climate-aligned projects. The bank has committed to allocating at least 50 percent of its funding to climate action by 2025, aligning with global sustainability goals. Still, the AIIB has not escaped geopolitical scrutiny. While officially multilateral, the bank is heavily influenced by China, its largest shareholder with over 25 percent of voting power. This has raised concerns—particularly in Western policy circles—that the AIIB may serve as a tool for expanding Chinese influence through infrastructure diplomacy. Although the bank has taken steps to demonstrate independence—such as suspending operations in Russia and Belarus following the Ukraine invasion—skepticism persists over how political dynamics could shape future lending decisions. Still, in a world increasingly defined by multipolar financing ecosystems, Kuwait's participation in the AIIB offers a new avenue for advancing sustainable development goals, attracting foreign investment, and engaging with a shifting global economic order.

Ukraine says Russia launched biggest aerial attack since start of war
KYIV, Ukraine, June 29, (AP): Russia launched its biggest aerial attack against Ukraine overnight, a Ukrainian official said Sunday, part of an escalating bombing campaign that has further dashed hopes for a breakthrough in efforts to end the 3-year-old war. Russia fired a total of 537 aerial weapons at Ukraine, including 477 drones and decoys and 60 missiles, Ukraine's air force said. Of these, 249 were shot down and 226 were lost, likely having been electronically jammed. Yuriy Ihnat, head of communications for Ukraine's air force, told the Associated Press that the overnight onslaught was "the most massive air strike' on the country, taking into account both drones and various types of missiles. The attack targeted regions across Ukraine, including western Ukraine, far from the frontline. Poland and allied countries scrambled aircraft to ensure the safety of Polish airspace, the Polish air force said Sunday. Kherson regional Gov. Oleksandr Prokudin said one person died in a drone strike. Six people were wounded in Cherkasy, including a child, according to regional Gov. Ihor Taburets. In the Lviv region in the far west of Ukraine, a large-scale fire broke out at an industrial facility in the city of Drohobych following a drone attack that also forced parts of the city to lose power. The fresh attacks follow Russian President Vladimir Putin's saying Friday that Moscow is ready for a fresh round of direct peace talks in Istanbul. However, the war shows no signs of abating as US-led international peace efforts have so far produced no breakthrough. Two recent rounds of talks between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul were brief and yielded no progress on reaching a settlement. Long-range drone strikes have been a hallmark of the war, now in its fourth year. The race by both sides to develop increasingly sophisticated and deadlier drones has turned the conflict into a testing ground for new weaponry.
