The Philippines on Tuesday welcomed an olive branch from Kuwait in a migrant labour row, days after its President Rodrigo Duterte announced a permanent ban on workers going to the Gulf state. The dispute, simmering for months, erupted last week when Kuwait expelled the Philippine ambassador over videos of embassy staff helping Filipino workers flee allegedly abusive bosses in Kuwait. Kuwait's Deputy Foreign Minister Nasser al-Subaih said on Monday the row was "largely a misunderstanding" and "we do not believe in escalation".
