KUWAIT: Under the patronage of the Embassy of India in Kuwait, the Indian Business and Professional Council (IBPC) Kuwait organized a captivating violin concert that celebrated the beauty and depth of Indian classical music. The event took place at the Jaber Al-Ahmad Cultural Centre (JACC) and aimed to strengthen cultural exchange between Kuwait and India. The event featured a performance by the renowned violinist L Subramaniam, one of India’s most respected maestros, accompanied by his son, Ambi Subramaniam, an accomplished musician in his own right. The concert was a bridge connecting the cultural heritage of both countries.

During the event, Kaizar Shakir, Chairman of IBPC Kuwait, emphasized to Kuwait Times that while the council’s primary mission is to promote and foster bilateral trade between Kuwait and India, it also places great importance on cultural exchange. "The Indian Business and Professional Council Kuwait fosters and promotes bilateral trade between Kuwait and India. However, our mission extends beyond business and commerce, as we also aim to enhance cultural exchange between the two countries,” Shakir noted.
