00:00 You mentioned in the beginning the tension between the Kuwaiti and Lebanese relations.
00:06 What happened? Why this tension?
00:09 And are you afraid of any escalation in this area?
00:13 No, I assure you with all confidence that Lebanon and Kuwait will not allow,
00:22 neither from our side nor from Kuwait's, that this issue takes any escalation.
00:28 We were clear about this and I was clear about this.
00:32 I said that I will not allow, not today nor in a hundred years,
00:37 that there is any tension in the relationship between Lebanon and Kuwait.
00:44 I add that the issue, specifically the issue that happened,
00:49 we clarified it and we clarified the purpose of the expression we used.
00:57 We did not suffer from it specifically, but with all kindness and good intentions.
01:04 We do not see this issue as moving to the stage of escalation of relations.
01:09 There was a misunderstanding, we clarified it, and I think the Kuwaiti side,
01:14 out of their love for Lebanon and their realization that, especially the Minister of Economy,
01:18 is the last person in Lebanon to escalate the relationship or reduce the respect
01:26 for the sovereignty of Kuwait and the state of Kuwait.
