Kuwait’s outstanding participation in the largest exhibition in the world is also meant to enhance its regional and international status, and allure foreign investors, the minster told reporters after inaugurating Kuwait’s pavilion at the expo.
The slogan “New Kuwait … a new opportunity for sustainability” was chosen for Kuwait’s pavilion because it will shed lights on the country’s endeavors to achieve sustainability and development.
