ShareKUWAIT: British Ambassador to Kuwait Belinda Lewis visited the offices of Kuwait Times and Kuwait News on Tuesday where she was warmly welcomed by Deputy Editors-in-Chief Dr Ziad Al-Alyan, Abdullah Boftain, and the rest of the team. During the visit, Kuwait Times highlighted the strong and consistent stance of both the team and Kuwait in support of Gaza and the Palestinian people. Content creators Hussain Sana and Yousef Abu Ghazaleh engaged with Ambassador Lewis in an insightful discussion about the ongoing Zionist war in Gaza, highlighting the challenges faced by the Palestinian people and expressing concerns over the insufficient international support and the need for more decisive actions towards a ceasefire beyond the current negotiations.
Jana Alnaqeeb, PR and CSR Manager, provided the ambassador with a tour of the newspaper’s departments, from the editorial team, responsible for news reporting and content curation, to the social media department, where the ambassador saw how the paper stays relevant in today’s fast-paced media world. The visit to the printing press demonstrated the technical side of daily production, while the studio showed the paper’s venture into multimedia content.
The tour concluded with a visit to the archives room, led by Abu Ghazaleh, which reflected Kuwait Times’ long history of covering critical milestones in the Palestinian struggle. He shared remarkable past publications, including the November 2012 edition with the headline “Palestine Wins UN birth certificate”, commemorating Palestine’s historic recognition as a non-member observer state by the United Nations General Assembly.
