BEIJING, Jan 29 (KUNA) -- The State of Kuwait stressed the significance of the Belt and Road Initiative as a strategic framework for promoting economic and developmental cooperation and backing transition towards a green economy.
This came during the participation of the Kuwaiti Embassy in Beijing in the Fourth Economic and Environmental Cooperation Forum within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, held in Beijing amid large participation from Arab and Middle Eastern representatives of governments and international organizations, economists and environmentalists.
The Kuwaiti embassy's counselor Abdulaziz Al-Dakheel addressed the event by highlighting Kuwait's stance on the Belt and Road Initiative, the embassy said in a press release.
