Governor-General issues statement on the Passing of the Father Amir of Kuwait

The Government and People of the Dominion of British West Florida express our sympathies to the Government and People of Kuwait on the passing of His Highness the Father Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Saad Al-Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah.

Sheikh Saad had faithfully served his country while his health permitted and made sacrificies for it (Kuwait) and was thus beloved and occupied a special place in hearts of all citizens.

We remember the outpouring of sympathy and the feelings of national loss at the passing of our beloved Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, and pray that the people of Kuwait will be able to reflect on the good the Father Amir achieved, his dedication to duty and the brighter future he helped make possible.
