ShareKUWAIT: The Pakistani Embassy inaugurated the third artistic mural in collaboration with the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters and the United Nations Human Settlements Program (UN-Habitat) as part of its activities commemorating 60 years of diplomatic relations with Kuwait.
Pakistani Ambassador Malik Mohammad Farooq said during the opening at Mishref Cooperative Society that the mural symbolizes cultural closeness between the two friendly nations. He mentioned that having the mural in a residential area serves as a continuous reminder of the exceptional relations between both countries in various fields.
This marks the third mural unveiled for this occasion, with two others in Souq Mubarakiya. The contents of the mural represent traditional Pakistani art known for vibrant colors and depictions of birds, such as doves symbolizing freedom and peace and peacocks representing beauty and the love of life.
Dr Mohamed Al-Jassar, Secretary-General of NCCAL, praised the artistic murals, emphasizing their aesthetic contribution to Kuwait’s residential areas. He highlighted the collaboration between NCCAL and the Pakistani Embassy in bringing distinguished Pakistani artists for the project, enhancing the visual appeal of lively areas like Mubarakiya.
Dr Ameera Al-Hassan, Head of UN-Habitat GCC Office, noted that placing these murals in public spaces in Kuwait aims to improve the overall appearance and utilize empty spaces in residential and vibrant areas like Mubarakiya. She mentioned the murals include Quranic verses and expressive phrases such as “Love for Kuwait and Pakistan in the heart”. The event was attended by Assistant Foreign Minister for Asian Affairs Ambassador Samih Hayat and several heads of diplomatic missions in Kuwait. — KUNA
