 A new pier and water break are unveiled at the Kuwait Naval Port during a ribbon cutting ceremony. The project is a display of the partnership between the U.S. and Kuwaiti armed forces. Today we are conducting ribbon cutting for the pier water break here in KMB, Kuwait Naval Base. This project has been going on for a while. Today was the final phase. The new additions to the base will serve as a strategic facility for both militaries. Another symbol of our strong and lasting partnership with the Kuwait armed forces. This is a base that is located in a very nice geographical location, beneficial for all partners for the U.S., both in Kuwait. We can only see the relationship strengthened with this kind of project. The deputy commanding general of the Kuwait Naval Force believes in projects like these. The relationship between the U.S. and Kuwait only gets stronger. I think Kuwait and U.S. armed forces, they have a very good relationship for many decades. I believe this cooperation is going to be continued. We will work shoulder to shoulder on a daily basis in the peacetime and wartime as well. With the opening of this facility, the U.S. and Kuwait armed forces are building a better partnership.
