Hans-Christian Freiherr von Reibnitz: At the beginning of the holy month, I am grateful for the opportunity to wish all Muslims – in Kuwait or elsewhere – a peaceful, festive and inspiring month of Ramadan. On behalf of the German Embassy in Kuwait, I am sending warm Ramadan greetings and best wishes to Their Highnesses the Amir and the Crown Prince and all people and the government of this country.

It is a time to be cherished, to lift our spirits and take mental rest. We feel united with the people of Kuwait and
