President Abdel Fattah El Sisi sent on Sunday a cable of condolences to Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Nawaf al Ahmad al Jaber al Sabah, over the death of former Kuwaiti defense minister Sheikh Nasser Sabah Al Ahmed.

Sheikh Nasser, the eldest son of the former Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah, died on Sunday at the age of 72 after a long battle with disease.

Sheikh Nasser held various government posts over the years, including minister of defense and deputy prime minister; he drew popular support for his ambitious mega-projects and anti-corruption efforts.
