Kuwaitis Elected to Senior Leadership Roles at ALECSO
Kuwait has secured two senior leadership positions within the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO) following its General Conference in Muscat. Minister of Education Sayed Jalal Al-Tabtabaei welcomed the elected officials upon their return, describing the outcome as a testament to Kuwait's diplomatic influence and the trust placed in its national talent by other Arab nations.
Two Kuwaiti officials have been elected to senior leadership positions within the Arab League Educational, Cultural and Scientific Organization (ALECSO), a development that Minister of Education Sayed Jalal Al-Tabtabaei described as a source of national pride.
Eng Mohammad Al-Khalidi was elected chairman of ALECSO’s Executive Council, while Dr Tareq Al-Ghareeb secured the role of assistant director general. The elections concluded during the organization’s General Conference held in Muscat, the capital of Oman.
Upon their return to Kuwait, Minister Al-Tabtabaei received Al-Khalidi, Al-Ghareeb, and their accompanying delegation at Kuwait International Airport. In a formal statement regarding the results, the minister emphasized that the victories reflected the confidence Arab countries place in Kuwaiti talent and its capacity to assume leadership roles in regional educational, cultural, and scientific affairs.
Al-Tabtabaei attributed the success to the support provided by Kuwait’s political leadership for national candidates and their efforts to strengthen the country’s standing in international forums. He specifically praised the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its diplomatic coordination with other Arab nations to rally necessary support for the Kuwaiti bids.
Regarding the implications of the new appointments, Al-Tabtabaei noted that Al-Khalidi’s chairmanship of the Executive Council presents a significant opportunity to enhance the organization’s institutional work, governance, and overall performance. He added that Al-Ghareeb’s election would bring valuable Kuwaiti expertise to ALECSO’s executive management.
The results mark a notable diplomatic achievement for Kuwait within the Arab League framework, highlighting the country's active role in shaping regional policy and administration.
