CAIRO, Nov 22 (KUNA) -- Kuwait offers Egypt perpetual support upon direct orders from His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, said Minister of Information and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Sheikh Salman Sabah Al-Salem Al-Humoud Al-Sabah.
Sheikh Salman, also head of the Higher Committee for Tourism, made the statement to a press conference with Egypt's Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou in Cairo on Sunday.
He said that he was conveying a message from Kuwait's political leadership and people reiterating the country's permanent baking to Egypt, which had always supported the Arabs, and Kuwait in particular.
The minister noted that his visit includes a host of initiatives for supporting the tourism sector in Egypt, including new non-stop flights to Sharm El-Sheikh, instead of seasonal ones at present.
The first of these flights will start on 1 December, with the chief aim of enhancing Kuwait's support to Egypt.
Sheikh Salman referred to other underway cultural initiatives and programs for the same purpose.
The minister referred to Kuwait's effective participation in the Sharm El-Sheikh economic summit last March. In addition, His Highness the Amir attended the opening of the New Suez Canal.
In addition, he stressed full confidence in the Egypt's economy, security and stability, expressing readiness to offer Egypt all types of technical and administrative support.
For his part, Egyptian Tourism Minister Hisham Zaazou welcomed the Kuwaiti minister and his accompanying delegation, and reiterating that both sides have deep-rooted relations.
Zaazou underscored the importance of the Kuwaiti tourism to Egypt.
The Kuwaiti and Saudi tourism is the main sources of Arab tourism to Egypt "even at the worst times," he said.
Zaazou also appreciated Sheikh Salman's visit, lauding Kuwait's initiatives to support the Egyptian tourist sector.
The coming period will see further efforts to enhance bilateral ties, especially in tourism, he said. (end) ms.rg.msa
