KUWAIT: Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Kuwait Hans-Christian Freiherr Von Reibnitz said Tuesday that historical relations between both countries gained strength and resilience over time. Both countries share the desire to take bilateral ties to a new height, he said in a speech to a reception hosted by his embassy to mark German Unity Day (October 3).
The ceremony was attended by Kuwait’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. Noting that both countries will mark the 60th anniversary of their diplomatic relations in May, the German diplomat said Kuwait has become a respectable international partner. Both countries maintain fruitful cooperation on a lot of urgent and important issues.
Kuwait is one of the main investors in Germany; the latter is the biggest European source of high-quality commodities for Kuwait, Reibnitz pointed out. He welcomed the growing numbers of Kuwaiti visitors to Germany, saying that his country has become a favorite tourist destination for Kuwaitis, at least in the summer. - KUNA
