Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan conveyed his best wishes Tuesday for the success of Kuwait's new Emir Sheikh Meshal Al Ahmad Al Jaber Al Sabah during a telephone call.
Erdoğan and Sheikh Meshal also discussed Türkiye-Kuwait relations, regional and global issues, the Turkish Communications Directorate wrote on X.
Erdoğan expressed his sincere condolences for the death of Sheikh Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, and conveyed his heart-felt sympathies.
Sheikh Nawaf died Saturday at 86. He has been succeeded by the 83-year-old crown prince and half-brother Sheikh Meshal.
Nawaf served as emir for more than three years. He took the reins in September 2020 following the death of his half-brother, Sheikh Sabah al Ahmad al Jaber al Sabah.
