The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry stated in a press statement that the Acting Assistant Secretary of State for Americas Affairs Nawaf Al-Ahmad handed Hollistider a memorandum confirming Kuwait’s rejection of what was published and stressing the need for the embassy to respect the laws and regulations in force in the State of Kuwait and the commitment not to publish such tweets in compliance with the provisions of the Vienna Diplomatic Relations convention of 1961.
