Kuwaiti finance minister, Chinese officials discuss investment ties

SHANGHAI, Nov 21 (KUNA) -- Kuwait's Finance Minister Dr. Nayef Al-Hajraf held talks on Wednesday with a number of Chinese officials, focusing on investment ties and economic cooperation.
The talks revolved around the ample investment opportunities available in Kuwait and China, read a statement by the Kuwaiti Finance Ministry, a day before the inaugural Kuwaiti-Chinese investment forum.
The meeting comes just months after His Highness the Kuwaiti Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah's visit to Beijing last July, which served as the catalyst that helped reinvigorate bilateral ties.
The investment conference carries lofty expectations, amid Kuwait's hopes that the event could open new doors for the Gulf state's burgeoning private sector.
