Kuwait denies reports about aid bid for Jordan

The State of Kuwait categorically denied on Tuesday reports purporting that it had offered "financial and oil assistance" to Jordan. According to the denied reports, "certain complications involving the National Assembly and the Government obstructed the presentation of the assistance." These reports are totally false, said Ali Al-Rashed, the Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs and the Government official spokesman on, on Tuesday. He called on the publishers of such false reports to check their basis before revealing them. The minister praised the close ties bounding the brotherly countries at the level of the peoples and the leaderships.
