KUWAIT: Zain, the
leading digital service provider in Kuwait, announced its platinum sponsorship
of the 36th annual conference of the National Union of Kuwaiti Students in the
United States of America (NUKS USA), which is set to be held from November 28
to December 1, 2019 in San Diego, California under the patronage of His
Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah.

Zain expressed
its pride in being the platinum sponsor of the conference, continuing its role
as a main supporter of the event for 16 years. The conference is considered the
largest gathering of Kuwaiti students abroad, and Zain's support comes in line
with its corporate sustainability and social responsibility strategy towards
the youth and education sectors, as well as its belief in connecting with the
country's youth abroad.

As it does every
year; Zain will be contributing to the event by organizing a number of unique
activities and programs. The company will be sponsoring a special sports
seminar featuring many distinguished Kuwaiti athletes, as well as organizing
the thrilling 'Zain Football Tournament' for students. Zain will also host a
workshop that discusses accelerating tech startups, featuring many successful
entrepreneurs.

Zain will
participate in recognizing the top performing Kuwaiti graduates from the US,
and will also take part in a special exhibition for sponsors, where the company
will offer its exclusive promotions to students, present its available career
opportunities, as well as showcase its leading experience in the telecom
sector. In addition, Zain has prepared a number of surprises for students who
will be visiting the event.

The conference
will feature many unique activities, including a workshop entitled 'Phonorizma'
for creating a charismatic brand through social media and smartphones, a
self-development workshop for female students, and an economic seminar. The
event will also host the stars of Kuwait Pulse 88.8 FM, and a concert by
popular Kuwaiti band Miami. All these activities and more will feature many
public/media figures, politicians, social activists, athletes, and more.

Zain's presence
in the event conveys its enthusiasm to interact with the future generations of
Kuwaiti youth, especially those who pursue their education abroad, as the NUKS
USA conference is considered the largest gathering of Kuwaitis outside of
Kuwait, and welcomes students from all around the US. The distinctive event
appeals to students on both an intellectual and social levels and it serves as
an open forum for them to exchange opinions and views regarding important
domestic issues with the presence of distinguished national figures from the
Kuwaiti society.

Zain sees its
annual participation in the conference as part of its responsibility as a
leading national company to help provide bright and enthusiastic young Kuwaitis
with a great social experience, as well as listen to their ideas and
experiences while pursuing their education abroad.

The NUKS USA
serves nearly 14,000 Kuwaiti students studying in the United States. The union
aims, through its events and programs, to connect Kuwaiti students with each
other on one level, and with their nation and the latest updates of the Kuwaiti
community on another. NUKS USA was publicized in the US and was granted the
recognition of the United States government. The achievement is considered a
proud milestone for Kuwait's youth, and is a direct result of the great
relations between the State of Kuwait and United States. Such a recognition is
a clear reflection of the strategic relations between the two nations.
