She noted that European and GCC countries were facing common challenges like those resulting from the Syrian refugee crisis.

"We in many ways become neighbors in the sense of dealing with Syria and Iraq issues" she said in statements to KUNA after a meeting with Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled on sidelines of the 70th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA).

Pusic said Kuwait and Croatia could jointly explore solutions to "crises spots in the immediate neighborhood."
