<\/p>\nEvery year the European Union (EU) marks Europe Day, considered the National Day of the EU, on 9 May to celebrate peace, solidarity and unity in Europe.<\/p>\n
After spending the past two years celebrating Europe Day virtually due to the then prevailing COVID-19 health crisis, the EU Delegation in Kuwait along with the 17 EU countries that have diplomatic missions in the country came together last Monday to celebrate Europe Day 2022 at the Multi-Purpose Hall in Shaheed Park.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In his opening speech at this year\u2019s Europe Day celebrations at Shaheed Park, EU Ambassador to Kuwait H.E. Cristian Tudor stated: \u201cYour Excellency Ambassador Naser Al-Hain, Assistant Foreign Minister for Europe Affairs, Your Excellencies the Ambassadors, Ladies and Gentlemen, and All friends of Europe in Kuwait, I would like to start by welcoming you today to our celebration of Europe Day in Kuwait. Although the EU Delegation in Kuwait opened in July 2019, this is the first time we hold such an event due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n
\u201cI speak today on behalf of the European Union and all its Member States. I am now joined on the stage by all Ambassadors of the 17 EU countries who have diplomatic missions in Kuwait. Without their support, this event would not have been possible.<\/p>\n
\u201cOn behalf of the European Union, I would like to extend my gratitude to the Amiri Diwan, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Al-Shaheed Park management and LOYAC who facilitated the organization of such an impressive event in this wonderful Hall at Al-Shaheed Park.<\/p>\n\r\n
