Following his election, Al-Shalahi, who heads Kuwait’s delegation at the General Assembly, expressed his pride in Kuwait’s achievement in a statement to the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA). He emphasized that this victory reflects Kuwait’s technical and administrative excellence in regional and international sports forums, particularly on the Asian stage.

Al-Shalahi stated that this success also underscores Kuwait’s esteemed reputation in both continental and international sports, highlighting the country’s commitment to contributing to the AASF’s decision-making and operations over the next four years.

On this occasion, Al-Shalahi extended his highest congratulations to Kuwait’s political leadership and wished continued progress and achievements for Kuwaiti sports in general, and air sports in particular, across all platforms.
