Embassy of India in coordination with the Indian Business Network (IBN) organized a Mango Festival on 12 May.

In his keynote address delivered at the inauguration of the festival, Indian Ambassador H.E. Sibi George first conveyed his greetings on the International Day of Nurses, and recalled with gratitude the role played by nurses and other medical professions in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic.

Welcoming the invitees, Ambassador George recalled the various Buyer-Seller Meets and festivals held for promotion of Indian mangoes in Kuwait, as part of the embassy’s 3-T campaign focusing on Trade, Technology and Tourism.

Ambassador also expressed his happiness in exceeding by far the target of ensuring that every Kuwaiti family, as well as Indian and foreigners in Kuwait, enjoy mangoes during the 60th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Kuwait, and 75th anniversary of India’s independence, which was set last year. He also thanked the Agricultural Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), for their support to the embassy in promoting Indian mangoes in Kuwait.

India is the largest producer of mangoes, producing more than half of the world’s mangoes. The country also has the largest number of mango varieties relative to other mango growing regions around the world. The Mango Festival witnessed enthusiastic response, with people from all walks of life in Kuwait participating virtually as well as physically in the event
