KUWAIT: Ambassador of Canada to Kuwait Aliya Mawani paid a visit to Kuwait Times and Kuwait News on Wednesday. She was given a tour by Public Relations and CSR manager Jana Alnaqeeb and the Kuwait Times team. The tour started with Alnaqeeb providing Mawani with an introduction to the history of Kuwait Times, founded by Yousuf Al-Alyan, and presenting her a framed copy of the inaugural edition.

The tour continued into the editorial department where reporter Ghadeer Ghloum provided an overview of the work that takes place in this section, including writing, translating, editing and page designing.
