Lewis said HH the Amir Sheikh Meshal is keen on supporting educational initiatives by organizing mutual programs between Kuwait and the UK. This came in a statement by Ambassador Lewis to KUNA and Kuwait TV on the visit of HH the Amir and an official delegation to the headquarters of the King’s Foundation in Dumfries House to view its educational activities and events.

The ambassador affirmed that many educational projects were initiated by King Charles III at Dumfries House. She noted Dumfries House was chosen for the visit because it provides opportunities to develop traditional and heritage skills and crafts among local residents and those from outside the UK. All the activities held are environmentally friendly, such as sustainable food production and the preservation of rare species of plants and fruits over vast areas in Scotland. — KUNA
