Anti-Daesh coalition meeting starts in Kuwait

A ministerial meeting for a U.S.-led coalition against the Daesh terrorist group kicked off Tuesday in Kuwait.


Addressing the opening session of the meeting, Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sabah al-Khalid al-Hamad al-Sabah said Daesh’s collapse reflects commitment of the coalition member-states to fight terrorism.

“The international community still faces a direct threat by armed groups, which requires opening up new prospects in the international coalition,” he told participants in the one-day meeting.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, for his part, cited that the international coalition has dismantled Daesh from nearly 98 percent of Syrian and Iraqi territories  it had seized.
