KUWAIT http://www.cheapmlbdiamondbacksjerseys.com/Shelby-Miller/ , Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah will visit the U.S. next month to ""open a new chapter"" of their strategic ties, U.S. Ambassador to Kuwait Lawrence Silverman said Wednesday.

""The visit reflects the very strong, close and strategic partnership between the United States and Kuwait, which is longstanding, but also we are in the process of enhancing that relationship http://www.cheapmlbdiamondbacksjerseys.com/Archie-Bradley/ , making it even closer,"" the U.S. envoy told the Kuwaiti official news agency KUNA in an interview.

This will be the Kuwaiti leader's fourth visit to the U.S. since he took office in 2006. He previously visited Washington in 2006, 2009 and 2013, and also participated in a summit between the U.S. and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) at the Camp David in May 2015.

The upcoming U.S. visit, scheduled on Sept. 6 http://www.cheapmlbdiamondbacksjerseys.com/Yasmany-Tomas/ , was planned amid Kuwait's efforts to mediate the ongoing standoff between Qatar and the Arab quartet led by Saudi Arabia.

Kuwait has been playing the role of mediator in the standoff which started early June when the quartet, which also includes the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain and Egypt, cut diplomatic ties with Qatar, citing Doha's support of terrorism and interference in their internal affairs.

Washington was throwing its weight behind Kuwait's mediation in the ""intra-GCC"" political dispute http://www.cheapmlbdiamondbacksjerseys.com/Jake-Lamb/ , Silverman said. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain as well as Qatar are all GCC members.

The U.S. supports Kuwait's mediation because it wants to see an end to this dispute as quickly as possible ""for the sake of the region,"" Silverman noted.

He also praised Kuwait for its plan to host an international conference of donors next year on Iraq's reconstruction of areas liberated from terror group Islamic State.

During the emir's visit, the two countries will hold the second session of the Kuwait-U.S. Strategic Dialogue http://www.cheapmlbdiamondbacksjerseys.com/Chris-Owings/ , which will draw a map for strengthening the Kuwait-U.S. ties in the next 25 years.

""It is really one of the foundation blocks of our relation, as part of the dialogue would be discussing possibilities in even furthering this cooperation. So, it is the whole gambit of relations,"" Silverman said.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson looks forward to holding talks with his Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah to continue discussions on enhancing cooperation on defense, fighting terrorism and promoting bilateral trade ties http://www.cheapmlbdiamondbacksjerseys.com/A-J-Pollock/ , Silverman said.

Another important aspect of the trade discussion will be the protection of intellectual property rights, he added.

" National swimming stars welcomed the building of a new Olympic swimming pool at a school in Tavistock, Devon in a development expected to transform the sport in the west of England
The school has been given the go-ahead to build an eight-lane, 50m pool to train Olympic swimmers and encourage the next generation of young hopefuls.
Made possible in part thanks to £706,000 of Sport England National Lottery funding, the pool will be used to train Mount Kelly pupils http://www.cheapmlbdiamondbacksjerseys.com/Jarrod-Dyson/ , local and regional state schools and swimming clubs from across the country.
Mark Semmence, headteacher at Mount Kelly, says: “This significant investment in the future of the school and for sport regionally would not have been possible without the support of Sport England.
"I am particularly delighted that the new pool will enable Mount Kelly to work more closely with the local and regional community, as 60% of the usage of the pool is designated for local state schools and swimming clubs.”
With an estimated 1 in 3 children in England unable to swim on leaving primary school, the pool is a vital part of bucking this trend. Scores of primary children from across the region will use the top-class facility.
Olympic and Commonwealth medal winner and ex-Mount Kelly pupil Sharron Davies MBE http://www.cheapmlbdiamondbacksjerseys.com/Curt-Schilling/ , said: "I am thrilled. This is a big step forward for British swimming. It will give a huge boost to the chances of more young people reaching international level as well as giving those who simply love the sport to come and enjoy themselves while getting fit."
