ShareMANCHESTER: The Kuwaiti ambassador to the UK, Bader Al-Awadhi, said that the embassy would support Kuwait youth’s and students’ efforts in highlighting their country’s culture and traditions abroad. This came in the opening speech at the Al-Mubarakiya Market event on Saturday, which was held in Manchester under the auspices of the Kuwaiti embassy in the United Kingdom and with the participation of Kuwaiti students. The event coincided with the celebration of Kuwait’s national day and the 125th anniversary of the Kuwaiti-British partnership.
He praised the idea of establishing a model of Al-Mubarakiya Market in Britain in reflection of the market’s 127 years of history. The ambassador stressed that the Kuwaiti leadership, led by His Highness the Amir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, is keen to support Kuwaiti youth studying abroad, especially those majoring in technology and artificial intelligence, which would contribute to Kuwait’s prosperity and progress.
He thanked the organizer of the youth event and its president, Abdulqader Al-Abduljader, for their efforts in a short time period and also expressed gratitude to the sponsors and the volunteering students for their contributions. The participating students displayed, during the event, traditional items and dishes in an effort to promote Kuwaiti and Arab cultures to the attendees.
The market included a model of the old Kuwaiti house, showing how traditional Kuwaiti families of old lived, which caught the attention of visitors. There was also a corner dedicated to Palestine to emphasize the importance of continuing to support the Palestinian cause. In a statement to KUNA, a number of Kuwaiti students expressed their delight in this event because it “transports them to Kuwait.” They expressed their gratitude to the Ministry of Education in Kuwait for their support and to the officials for facilitating the housing procedures for the students. — KUNA
