Kuwait Emir said that the objective of Kuwait mediation is to protect the 'Gulf House which is our home' from collapsing, quoted Kuwait News Agency (KUNA). 

The Emir made this statement as he opened the second ordinary session of the 15th legislative term of National Assembly. 

The Emir said, "the mediation of Kuwait is not merely a traditional mediation by a party between two parties. We are not a party but one party with two brothers", expressing hope that every one would be fully aware of the risks of escalation with resulting implications of regional and international damage to the Gulf and its people. 

The Emir pointed out that the history and future generations of the Gulf and the Arabs will not forgive anyone who contributes, even with one word, to fuel the Gulf crisis or be part in it. 

The Kuwait Emir stressed that GCC is a promising glimmer of hope in the darkness of Arab action and a model to be followed in cooperation. 

He added that there is a greater need to approach the crisis in a calm manner and to avoid the conflict in an attempt to overcome the situation, saying "what brings us together is stronger than what divides us."
