(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) CAIRO, Aug 29 (KUNA) -- A senior official from the Kuwaiti National Council for Culture, Arts and Literature (NCCAL) praised on Wednesday the Kuwaiti-Egyptian cultural cooperation, which he described has no limits and one of the most important tributaries of the deep-rooted relations between the two countries, adding that Cairo is a beacon of culture in the Arab world.
NCCAL's Acting Secretary General Bader Al-Duwaish told Middle East News Agency (MENA) that the National Council has been keen to strengthen cultural and artistic cooperation with Egypt due to its leading position in "soft power arena," and its high cultural and artistic beacons, including the Egyptian Opera House and the General Book Library Authority in Cairo.
He added that the selection of Kuwait as an honorary guest during the Cairo International Book Fair in 2014 reaffirms the strong relations between the two countries, both at the official level and the cultural levels.
Al-Duwaish pointed out that the Kuwaiti-Egyptian cultural cooperation continued throughout the year without interruption, as Kuwait participates in various cultural and artistic events held in Egypt and vice versa.
The official noted that Kuwait will participate in the experimental theatrical festival in Egypt in two weeks, as well as a joint establishment of folklore and handicraft arts, and musical festivals, in addition to signing dozens of protocols between the two sides in the cultural field annually.
On the latest activities planned by NCCAL in Kuwait soon, Al-Duwaish said that the council is the main incubator of culture and artistic and literary creativity in Kuwait, therefore they are always keen to provide fine art regarding the Kuwaiti scene. (end) aff.mb
