TOKYO, April 9 (KUNA) -- Kuwaiti Embassy in Japan participated in an annual
bazaar organized by the Association of Arab Ambassadors Wives (Suwag) in Tokyo
in the presence of Japanese Princess Tsuguko, the embassy said in a statement
to Kuwaiti News Agency (KUNA) on Monday.
Princess Tsuguko was received by spouse of Kuwaiti Ambassador Jamila
Abdulrahman Al-Otaibi at the Kuwaiti pavilion, which showcased the country's
clothing, handicrafts and food products. Al-Otaibi gave her a full explanation
of the items on display, which were highly acclaimed by the princess and the
visitors.
Al-Otaibi said that Kuwait Embassy is always keen on participating in such
occasions, whether by the embassy alone or the Suwag Society's activities, in
order to deliver a message to the Japanese people through exhibits from Arab
in general and Kuwait in particular.
The proceeds from the charity will be donated to the children in the
eastern prefecture of Fukushima, which was hit by a massive earthquake and
tsunami in March last year, according to Al-Otaibi.
She also hailed the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry for their cooperation, saying
it affirms the keenness of ministry officials to facilitate Kuwaiti missions'
work abroad. (end)
