ROME, May 13 (KUNA) -- Chief of the Kuwaiti media and cultural delegation visiting Rome, Sheikha Rasha Al-Sabah, touted on Friday results of the delegation's tour of the National Central Library of Rome and the National Archives of Italy.
The delegation's two-day visit to the Library and the Archives and meeting with expert officials in these two places "gave us an excellent opportunity to learn first-hand about the way these two institutions are run," said Sheikha Rasha.
She added that information gleaned from the delegation's visit to these institutions would be useful in running Kuwait's National Library and in safekeeping of the nation's archives.
Italian officials in these two institutions agreed with the Kuwaiti delegation to further expand their bilateral contacts and exchange of expertise in the field of running libraries and archiving documents, she said.
The delegation included officials from the Kuwait National Library, the Center for Research and Studies on Kuwait, and Kuwait News Agency (KUNA). (end) mn.ajs
