Kuwait, Chad seek stronger trade ties

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 13: Deputy Assistant Foreign Minister for African Affairs Nayef Al-Mudhaf confirmed that the annual trade exchange between the State of Kuwait and the Republic of Chad currently amounts to approximately KD80,000. In a press statement, Al-Mudhaf expressed his aspiration that this amount will increase in the future; while affirming the two sides' commitment to strengthen trade cooperation. He indicated that Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED) has so far provided eight loans to the Republic of Chad ( a total of more than $110 million) to support infrastructure projects. Regarding cooperation in recruiting Chadian workers, Al-Mudhaf explained that there is no such agreement yet; but Kuwait is prepared to look into the matter if the Chadian side wishes to do so and will work hard to complete it. He pointed out the tremendous efforts exerted by Kuwaiti charitable organizations to support Sudanese refugees, stressing that these efforts will expand with the support and follow-up of the Chadian Embassy. He also revealed that the coming period will witness discussions with the Chadian ambassador to Kuwait to discuss opportunities to increase Kuwaiti investments in Chad and present these opportunities to Kuwaiti investors wishing to expand there. He wished the Republic of Chad further progress and prosperity. On the other hand, Chadian Ambassador to Kuwait Dr. Taher Al-Nazif Khater said the relationship with Kuwait is deeply rooted; dating back to the independence of the two countries in the early 1960s. 'It continues steadily and confidently; refl ecting the importance that the leaders of both countries -- President of the Republic Marshal Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno and His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah – put in the relationship. The two parties are keen on strengthening this relationship and developing it to a broader level. The coming period will witness mutual visits to study projects for fruitful cooperation and partnership agreements that will benefit the people of both countries. Kuwait is a strategic partner and a central and pioneering friend that supports development in Africa, especially in Chad.' He recalled the role of KFAED, which supports numerous development projects in Chad; praising the great humanitarian work carried out by Kuwaiti charitable societies in various humanitarian fields in his country.
