TEHRAN – Officials from Kuwait’s National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters (NCCAL) paid a visit to Tehran’s Niavaran Cultural Center on Friday.
NCCAL Assistant Secretary General Mohammed Al-Asousi and the council’s Deputy Director for Cultural Relations Mohammed Bin Ali also met center Director Seyyed Abbas Sajjadi.
They discussed the expansion of mutual cultural relations. Accordingly, the center is scheduled to host a Kuwaiti cultural festival in autumn 2014.
Sajjadi said that the expansion of cultural relations among the Iranian and Kuwaiti cultural centers is highly significant for both countries.
Al-Asousi said that Niavaran has great potential for holding a Kuwait cultural week, which aims to introduce Iranians with culture, art and traditions of his country.
Al-Asousi also said that the NCCAL would welcome any plan from Iranian officials for holding art shows in Kuwait.
The Kuwait cultural festival will be held through collaborative efforts by the NCCAL, Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, and the Islamic Culture and Relations Organization.
