YEREVAN, Feb 5 (KUNA) -- Armenian Minister of Culture and Youth Hasmik
Poghosian on Tuesday welcomed the Kuwaiti cultural celebrities taking
part in the activities of Kuwait cultural days in Yerevan.
"The event provides an opportunity for the Armenian people to get
acquainted with Kuwait's wonderful folklore and culture. The Armenian
state departments were looking forward to hosting the Kuwaiti cultural
days as a means for cementing the people-to-people friendship,"
she told KUNA here this evening.
Poghosian made the remarks during a reception hosted by Kuwaiti
Ambassador to Armenia Bassam Al-Qabandi in honor of the 40-member
Kuwaiti delegation, led by Secretary General of the National Council
for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) Ali Al-Yuha.
"The event falls in the framework of a pact on cultural exchanges
and cooperation, signed by the two countries in 2009," she said,
recalling that Kuwait hosted in 2011 the Armenian cultural days.
Poghosian added that the diversified cultural exchanges between the
two sides are based on constructive friendship and understanding.
On his part, Ambassador Al-Qabandi spoke highly of the NCCAL response
to the Armenian invitation for holding the cultural days which coincide
with Kuwait celebrations marking the National Day, the Liberation
Day and the anniversary of the assumption of power by His Highness
the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
"The cultural event is a great achievement given the fact that the
Kuwaiti diplomatic mission in Armenia was established only one year
and two months ago, in December, 2011. This shows the keenness of
the Kuwaiti leaders to boost the people-to-people relationship to
the level of the state-to-state relations," he said.
The activities of Kuwait cultural days in Yerevan will kick-start
tomorrow with performance by Kuwaiti musical and folkloric troupes.
