CAIRO: The Egyptian Ministry of International Cooperation held a celebration yesterday for the participants in the "Be Among the Distinguished" program for outstanding Kuwaiti students. The event, held on the seventh day of the Kuwaiti delegates' visit, was organized by the Kuwait Fund for Arab Economic Development (KFAED).

Speaking on the sidelines of the ceremony held to honor the outstanding Kuwaiti students, ministry representative Eng. Mohammad Hammam said that the Kuwaiti students visiting Egypt had participated in different workshops and activities which would no doubt have a positive impact on their future studies.

Hammam added that this experience would influence the students' choices in the future, adding that this was an opportunity to promote the different cultural aspects, and would encourage them to continue to strive for excellence.

He said that the KFAED's program was an outstanding initiative on its part, noting the enthusiasm and interaction between members of the delegation throughout the program's activities.

Hammam praised the role played by Kuwait in supporting neighboring Countries through the KFAED's projects, which had been launched in 104 Arab and other countries. The projects funded by the KFAED in Egypt had caused a remarkable shift in many areas, he said, particularly those projects previously implemented or currently underway in the field of electricity.

Hammam predicted that the KFAED would continue to spread its activities further thanks to its current policy, adding that this would enhance the reputation of Kuwait in international forums.

He also underscored the strength of Kuwaiti-Egyptian relations, saying that these are constantly growing, in light of the brotherly ties that bind the two countries. Hammam also expressed hope that future activities of this nature would be of benefit to both nations.
