RIYADH: The Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) recently hosted a distinguished ceremony to honor 12 exceptional young individuals from across the Gulf region, including Kuwait’s own Othman Al-Jiran and Ghanima Al-Mutawa. The event, themed “Gulf Youth – Creativity, Pioneering, Achievement,” was attended by Kuwait’s Minister of Information and Culture, and Minister of State for Youth Affairs, Abdulrahman Al-Mutairi.

In an interview with the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) following the ceremony, Othman Al-Jiran, an agricultural engineer and entrepreneur, expressed his pride in being recognized for his contributions to environmental protection and sustainable farming initiatives, both within Kuwait and abroad.
