    Minister of Commerce and Industry Anas Al-Saleh

    KUWAIT, Sept 22 (KUNA) -- Minister of Commerce and Industry Anas
    Al-Saleh on Sunday evening represented the Kuwaiti government at the
    celebration of Armenia Embassy to mark the country's 22nd National
    Day, highlighting development of bilateral ties and cooperation.

    Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the celebration, Al-Saleh
    said his ministry developed plans to ward off any spillover of
    possible regional economic problems on the citizens and expatriates in
    Kuwait.

    "The government offers subsidy to staples for citizens but in case of
    any eventuality the government will be responsible for ensuring the
    minimum needs of both citizens and expatriates alike," he made clear.

    The minister was commenting on recent press reports that the
    government mulls issuing ration cards for non-Kuwaitis.

    Asked about the reported contamination of vegetables and fruits in
    Syria, the Minister said: "Kuwait Municipality's committee on food
    safety and the Environment Public Authority work closely to implement
    the ban on food imports from Syria." On the bilateral ties with
    Armena, Al-Saleh said the two countries maintain constantly growing
    relations in such areas as economy and commerce.

    The trade exchanges grew slightly in the farm and food sectors in the
    recent years, he noted.

    On his part, Armenia Ambassador to Kuwait Fadey Charchoghlyan
    commended Kuwait's "limitless relief effort" for the Syrian refugees
    in his country.

    The State of Kuwait was one of the first countries which responded
    promptly to the humanitarian needs of the Syrian refugees in Armenia,
    he said.

    The Armenian-Kuwaiti ties are growing steadily in all political,
    economic, cultural, social, commercial and educational fields thanks
    to the supports of leaders of both countries, he pointed out.

    Charchoghlyan noted that the exchanged visits on all levels help
    promote the bilateral ties.

    He appreciated the roles of Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry
    (KCCI) and Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) in promoting the joint
    investments.

    He voiced hope for signing an agreement with Kuwait on educational
    cooperation, and academic and student exchanges, noting that Yerevan
    University launched a college for Arabic teaching and Islamic
    sciences.

    The Armenian diplomat also expressed hope for pushing the level of
    relations of his country with GCC and other Arab countries to the
    level of the relations with Kuwait.
    Armenia has a 6,000-strong community in Kuwait who enjoy security and
    welfare, he added. (end) rkf.nfa.gb KUNA 230102 Sep 13NNNN
