False reports
In other news, the Foreign Ministry denied yesterday signing a contract with a company owned by a person who has security problems in Kuwait, for a project to link up the Foreign Ministry with its missions abroad. In a statement, a source at the Ministry said that it had conducted a contract with Tata Communications Limited Company, explaining that all terms for external contracts by the State of Kuwaiti supervisory authorities were met, also indicating that the offers given by Tata were “the best and least costly” among the companies that forwarded offers for executing the project.

The agreement was signed at Tata’s headquarters in Singapore, and not in Dubai, by Kuwait’s Ambassador to Singapore and the General Counsel for Tata Communications John Freeman. The source added that the alleged news on the social media about signing the agreement with an Iraqi person living in Dubai and has a security record in Kuwait is false, and Kuwait did not interact with any person whose description fits that of the individual, mentioned in the alleged reports. He noted that the ministry will maintain its jurisdictions to take any legal action that would preserve its rights toward these alleged accusations.
