Kuwait city: The State of Kuwait holds a significant place in the history of international relations and regional politics. Notably, Kuwait acceded to the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, marking its commitment to the global effort against the illicit drug trade.
According to Kuwait News Agency, in a stark turn of events in 1990, Iraq, having invaded Kuwait earlier in the month, declared the country as its "19th province" and renamed it "Kadhma." This move was an attempt by Iraq to erase the historical existence of Kuwait as an independent nation.
