UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) -- The Kuwaiti Prime Minister Wednesday urged an end to Syria's 30-month conflict, in which more than 100,000 people have been killed.
The Syria crisis "has exceeded the description of a humanitarian disaster," Sheikh Jaber Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah said at the General Debate of the 68th UN General Assembly, adding that its dimensions have become an obstacle to any impending solutions that can contain this crisis.
The prime minister said that the UN Security Council has been shouldered with "a historic and decisive responsibility" to take serious and tangible steps to ensure solutions that can guarantee an end to the bloodshed of the people and restore security and stability in their country.
On Iran's nuclear issue, he said that Kuwait supports the ongoing efforts to peacefully resolve this issue in a manner that will preserve the right of Iran and other regional countries to use nuclear energy for peaceful purposes under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Kuwait called on Iran to cooperate fully with international efforts on implementing relevant UN Security Council resolutions, and to cooperate also with the IAEA, he said.
