Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammad al-Sabah on Tuesday condemned as "baseless" a report by Amnesty International which accused Kuwait of supplying Sudan with weapons to be used in Darfur, the official KUNA news agency reported.

"I am as a matter of fact very surprised because these accusations are baseless," Sheikh Mohammad was quoted as saying, voicing a hope that Amnesty International would maintain its credibility.

According to KUNA, Amnesty International had accused Sudan in its latest report of violating arms embargo imposed on Darfur, and regretted that China and Russia were allegedly supplying Khartoum with arms.

The organization also accused Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Belarus of supplying Sudan with weapons, and said all members countries in the UN should be stopped from sending arms that could be used in the conflict in the troubled province of Darfur.
