The Embassy of Kuwait in France is organizing festive events on the 60th anniversary of the Kuwaiti-French friendship, in cooperation with the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information, the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) and the Arab World Institute (AWI) in Paris.
In a statement to KUNA, Kuwaiti Ambassador to France Sami Al-Suleiman said Saturday that the French national post office will issue a postage stamp on this occasion, bearing a logo designed by Kuwait’s Information Ministry. NCCAL will hold a musical celebration at AWI on September 14, Al-Suleiman added. He stated that the depth of the Kuwaiti-French relations reflects the historical ties and the continuing bonds of friendship between both sides. He recalled the history of bilateral ties, the most vital of which was the French stance against the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and joining the international coalition to liberate the country. France was one of the first countries to recognize the independence of Kuwait on August 28, 1961, he said.
He underlined that France and Kuwait showed a high level of mutual understanding and approaches in many international issues.
