In press statements following his meeting Wednesday with Arab League Secretary General Nabil el Araby, Jarallah said that Kuwait informed the Egyptian leadership about its support to the Egyptian nominee. 

He also expressed his high regards and appreciation of Araby's efforts during his tenure in the pan-Arab body.
