Time to choose the right friends
A LUNCH banquet was held in honor of Micheline Calmy-Rey, head of the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs in Switzerland (Minister of Foreign Affairs), in the Amiri tent at the Bayan Palace upon her arrival in Kuwait on Nov 7, 2010. In this event, HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Mohammad Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah made the most important announcement on the future of the country, particularly the vision of HH the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah to transform Kuwait into a financial and commercial hub in the region.
Several steps have been taken to develop Kuwait and make it a better place to live, including the approval of the development plan for fiscal 2010 to 2014; allocation of $140 billion for the enhancement of infrastructure and establishment of ports, railways and cities; and improvement of public services. These steps are part of a promise to effect positive changes in the country, especially the efforts to raise the standard of education, ensure gender equality, boost the economy and protect political freedom.
It is extremely important for Kuwait in the near future to choose the right friends in the world like Switzerland, which usually extends a helping hand economically and politically, in addition to its willingness to share its positive experiences in democracy, freedom and neutrality.
This is the right time for Kuwait to push the wheels of development forward, because it currently enjoys strong ties with the US, UK, France, Canada and China. Development efforts will be more meaningful this time because the country is on the verge of celebrating the golden jubilee of its independence. Such efforts give people a glimmer hope that the next 50 years will be better, in terms of the quality of life, openness, modernization and national recovery.
