    KUWAITI CULTURE EVENTS PROCEEDING IN ARMENIA


    YEREVAN, Feb 7 (KUNA) -- The Armenian capital is playing host to
    activities and events reflecting aspects of Kuwaiti culture and
    heritage, and the Kuwait Culture Days events for Thursday have been
    inaugurated by Minister of Culture Hasmik Poghosian.

    The events took place at Armenia International Museum in attendance
    of Secretary General of Kuwait's National Council for Culture, Arts,
    and Letters (NCCAL) Ali Al-Youhah, Kuwaiti Ambassador to Armenia Bassam
    Al-Qabandi, and Armenian Ambassador to Kuwait Fadey Charchoghlian.

    The attractions today were exhibitions for works by painter Suhayla
    Al-Najdi, calligrapher Ibrahim Habib, and photographer Hamid Al-Amiri.

    The Kuwaiti representatives took the host country's care to facilitate
    hosting of the festivities as a sign of genuine interest in furthering
    interaction and understanding between the two people.

    Al-Youhah noted culture is the language of communication among peoples
    of the world, and a means to promote cooperation. Bolstering cultural
    exchange is a priority, as stressed by His Highness the Amir Sheikh
    Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. "The agreement our two countries have
    signed in 2009 serves as the beginning, not culmination of this effort.

    During the festivities, and in addition to giving Armenian audiences a
    taste of Kuwaiti arts and culture, Kuwaiti intellectuals and artists
    would also get a general impression of the cultural and arts scene
    in Armenia.

    Back to the attractions today, the paintings of artist Al-Najdi
    addressed the role of women in Arab and Kuwaiti society. Calligrapher
    Al-Habib's works shown the delicacy and beauty of the Arabic font
    and the artists wrote the names of some of the guests in beautiful
    calligraphy.

    As for Al-Amiri's photos, they introduced the public to many of
    modern Kuwait's landmarks, shed light on Kuwaiti history with images
    on the themes of pearl-diving and sadu weaving, and also showed the
    construction of clay homes in days of old.(end) yt.wsa KUNA 071303
