The Secretary General of the Farnesina, Ambassador Ettore Sequi, received the new Ambassador of the State of Kuwait, Nasser Sanhat Alqahtani, at the Farnesina today.
During their discussion they reviewed their countries’ excellent bilateral relations and the prospects for further developing the relationship.
Ambassador Sequi said that he especially appreciated their collaboration in the cultural sphere. This sector is likely to expand even further, giving that Italy will be attending the Book Fair taking place in Kuwait from 16 to 26 November 2022. Our country’s participation as guest of honour at the Fair (a role held, in the most recent editions, by the United Kingdom in 2019, France in 2018 and the United States in 2017) is an important opportunity to strengthen Italy’s cultural and linguistic presence in Kuwait.
Ambassador Sequi and Ambassador Alqahtani also discussed the potential offered by economic cooperation, exploiting the opportunities that could arise from the “New Kuwait 2035” strategy, especially as regards sustainable development.
