The Kuwaiti government and parliament support China's adoption of the Anti-Secession Law, Kuwaiti National Assembly Speaker Jasim Mohmmad Al-Kharafi said on Tuesday.

The official made the statement at a meeting with Chinese ambassador Wu Jiuhong.

Kuwait believes the adoption of the Anti-Secession Law will contribute to China's stability, development and reunification, Al-Kharafi said.

He added his country is glad to see that Hong Kong and Macao has enjoyed political stability and robust economic development with people's living standards improving continuously since China's resumption of the exercise of sovereignty in line with the principle of "one country, two systems."

The policy has also promoted exchanges and trade among the Chinese people across the Taiwan Straits, Al-Kharafi said.

The National People's Congress, China's top legislature, on Monday passed the Anti-Secession Law which came into effect immediately after President Hu Jintao signed a presidential decree to promulgate it in the same day.
