KUWAIT: His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah called on Kuwaiti citizens to adhere to the democratic approach and the constitutional references. “National identity is at the top of our priorities. It belongs to every genuine Kuwaiti keen on his country’s progress and the elevation of its status,” His Highness the Amir said in an address to the nation on the occasion of the last 10 days of Ramadan.

During the speech, His Highness the Amir lauded the reactions of the loyal and faithful people of Kuwait towards the reform decisions that the government took lately. “I would like to say that the advocates of division and the instigators of sedition are trying to confuse matters, spread rumors, and distort statements, to divide the ranks and cause discontent,” His Highness said.

His Highness the Amir emphasized the keenness to balance between firmness in everything that affects national unity and achieving justice in citizenship issues, and that dealing with them is by the law, far from political outbidding and pressures. “I affirm commitment to reforming, strengthening stability, and upholding the country’s supreme interests, continuing to combat corruption and confronting anyone who attempts to tamper with the nation’s security and stability,” His Highness the Amir added.

His Highness also stressed that he follows with great interest the work of the state’s agencies, as he directs, monitors, follows up and holds accountable as well as directs the government to expedite the implementation of all state development projects, especially health, education and housing. “I am certain, with a reassured soul, an optimistic spirit and great confidence in the authentic Kuwaiti people’s ability to overcome challenges,” said His Highness the Amir.

Meanwhile, His Highness the Amir affirmed that Kuwait will maintain its diplomatic approach with friendly countries and their common causes, with its firm stances that uphold justice and stand against injustice. The Palestinian cause will remain at the top of its foreign policy priorities, and Kuwait will maintain its principled position in support of the brotherly Palestinian people’s right to achieve all their legitimate rights, His Highness added. His Highness the Amir also went on warning of the upcoming challenges, stressing the importance of realizing the magnitude and size of the responsibility, which requires everyone to adhere to national unity and work with a spirit of responsibility to preserve the security and stability of the homeland. His Highness the Amir also prayed to the Almighty to have mercy on “our martyrs, heal the sick, and have mercy on our former rulers.” – KUNA

KUWAIT: Following the strong public response to the Indian mango festival held at The Avenues on Thursday, India is exploring the possibility of expanding its fruit exports to Kuwait. Indian Ambassador to Kuwait Dr Adarsh Swaika told Kuwait Times that discussions are underway to introduce Indian-grown dragon fruit, blueberries, and blackberries to the local market.“These fruits are now being cultivated in India, and there is potential for them to enter the Kuwaiti market soon,” he said.

This interest in diversification comes on the heels of the successful rollout of new Indian mango varieties in Kuwait. “For the first time in Kuwait, six new late-season mango varieties are now available in lulu hypermarket, with other major retailers also expressing interest,” the ambassador said.

Known as late-season mangoes, these include Chausa, Mallika, Amrapali, Dussheri, Langra, and the distinctive Fazli mango—recognized with a Geographical Indication (GI) tag for its unique regional origin and characteristics. “India is often called the mango capital of the world. We export over 1,000 varieties, ten of which have earned GI tags,” Dr Swaika noted. He further emphasized the strength of the food sector in bilateral trade, saying, “The food sector is one of the mainstays of our trade ties with Kuwait. Kuwait is among the top five importers of Indian mangoes globally.”

Reflecting on the mango festival held at The Avenues, the ambassador noted the strong engagement from the public. “There was very good enthusiasm at The Avenues Mall,” he said. “We started in the morning, and a lot of people came, tasted the mangoes, and were curious to learn more about the different varieties.”
