An official source at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced that the ministry summoned on Friday ambassador the Philippines to Kuwait and handed him two protest notes.

The source stated that the two protest notes are related to recent remarks of several Filipino officials which entailed serious offenses against the State of Kuwait and the actions made by some Philippine embassy's employees in violation of the diplomatic norms governing the relations of the two countries as per the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

The source expressed regret over such practices which could harm the friendship relations between the two countries.
