  • 13/11/2022

Kuwait City: HE Carlo Balducci, the Italian Ambassador to Kuwait, announced that Kuwait will receive the fourth batch of Eurofighter planes in the coming weeks.


Balducci stated that there is a high demand from Kuwaitis to visit Italy, noting that the consular section issued approximately 25,000 visas in 2022, indicating that Italy is a popular destination for many. He explained that the procedures for obtaining a visa are simple and quick, pointing to the continuation of cooperation with Kuwait in a variety of fields. 

Concerning health cooperation, Balducci stated that he met with the Minister of Health and that there is a proposal to implement a project for a Thalassemia treatment centre in Kuwait. He stated that Italy is well-known for its treatment of this disease. He went on to say that the Italian mission excavating antiquities in Failaka will return to Kuwait early next year, specifically in January, to resume its work after a long hiatus due to the corona pandemic, emphasising that cooperation in the field of archaeological explorations is one of the most important factors of cultural exchange. He stated that the Italian archaeological mission made significant advances in the pre-corona period. 

Returning to the occasion, Balducci said that 10 Italian publishing houses have decided to display their books in the Italian pavilion that was established for this occasion at the Mishref exhibition grounds building, in cooperation with the Italian Trade Agency, in addition to books about the beauty of Italy. He added, “Free Italian language lessons for children and adults will be held at the Kuwait National Library, through the agreement concluded by the embassy with the Cultural Center, which provides courses to learn languages in Kuwait, including the Italian language.” He continued, “Many of the major hotel restaurants in Kuwait will celebrate these important events, by preparing special menus of the traditional Italian gastronomy, the success of which spreads widely in Kuwait during the week of Italian cuisine in the world, which takes place during the same period.”
