With a lot of countries like the UAE, Saudi, India and middle eastern countries warning Research in Motion, the makers of BlackBerry, that their services would be blocked in the countries, Kuwait has said that it wont ban BlackBerry services. The authorities say that they are following the situation continuously, but are not planning to impose a ban due security concerns.

Mohammad al-Baseeri, communications minister here said "At the moment, I can tell you that there is no intention to stop BlackBerry services in Kuwait". But then he said that he was waiting for answers from RIM on the security risk concerns tossed by the neighboring countries. It is also quoted that he said "We are in direct and indirect talks, and contact, with Saudi Arabia, UAE and the BlackBerry maker to follow up on the solutions presented by the company."
