KUWAIT CITY - 23 July 2017: European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini arrived here on Sunday on a visit to Kuwait that comes within the framework of diplomatic efforts to solve the Gulf crisis.

Mogherini will hold talks with a number of senior Kuwaiti officials to express EU support for mediation efforts exerted by Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al Ahmad al Jaber al Sabah to find a solution to the Gulf crisis.
