He boasted that this achievement is considered a significant step towards attaining the company's strategic goals in the European continent, promoting its marketing status in the European market. He added that this achievement would also lead to strengthening the Kuwaiti oil sector in world oil markets, particularly fuel retail stations, noting that the four-year operation of both stations would start on May 1.
