Armenian Ambassador in Kuwait Fadi Ghalian commended cooperative
relations between Armenia and Kuwait as "close and firm", hoping that
they would be further developed in various domains.
Speaking at a news conference on the occasion of the 20th anniversary
of his country's independence, Ghalian said the Armenian people
are looking forward to His Highness the Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah
Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah's planned visit to Armenia.
He said preparations were underway for HH the Amir's tour, during which
he is expected to open a Kuwait-financed college of Islamic science.
Armenia and Kuwait forged their bilateral relations when the former
gained its independence from the Soviet Union, he said.
Ghalian said Armenia was in the forefront of the countries which
supported Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion, noting that bilateral
relations were being swiftly developed.
He said Armenia had opened an embassy in Kuwait in 2009, and signed
several cooperative agreements in the fields of higher education,
culture and economy.
Ghalian recalled that during a recent visit by an Armenian delegation
to Kuwait a joint cooperation agreement was concluded in the technical
and economic areas and a joint economic committee was made up.
The Armenian ambassador noted that Armenia and Kuwait had hammered
out a bilateral cooperative deal in the fields of culture and higher
education during Kuwaiti Minister of Finance Mustafa Al-Shimali's
visit to Armenia in July 2011.
Armenia attaches much attention to Arabic language and Islamic studies,
he said, adding that the joint economic committee would convene in
Armenia October.
On economic relations, he said his country was working closely with
the Kuwaiti government to push forward economic cooperation.
He urged Kuwaiti tourists to visit Armenia to enjoy its historical
sites and landscapes.
