Saudi Minister of Culture Prince Bader bin Abdullah bin Farhan Al Saud and Kuwaiti Minister of Information and Culture and Minister of State for Youth Affairs Abdulrahman bin Bedah Al-Mutairi have met at the Riyadh International Book Fair.

During the meeting on Monday, the two ministers emphasized the deep-rooted historical and distinguished relations between the two countries and the importance of joint work in the cultural field under the umbrella of the Saudi-Kuwaiti Coordination Council.

The two ministers signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to enhance cultural cooperation between the Kingdom’s Ministry of Culture and Kuwait’s National Council for Culture, Arts, and Literature (NCCAL).

The MoU aims to enhance collaboration in various cultural fields such as heritage, architecture, design, museums, visual arts, theater, performing arts, literature, publishing, translation, fashion, culinary arts, and film. It also involves sharing expertise on cultural systems, regulations, and policies and participating in each other's festivals and cultural events.

As members of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), both parties will jointly coordinate agreements and contribute to strategic projects across various cultural sectors. Additionally, the MoU seeks to establish artistic residency programs and implement projects for preserving heritage in all its forms.

The MoU is based on longstanding historical ties and solid fraternal relations between the leaderships and peoples of the Kingdom and Kuwait. Its goal is to strengthen relations as part of the two countries' ongoing efforts to improve bilateral relations across different cultural aspects and to promote international cultural exchange, which aligns with the objectives of the National Culture Strategy under the umbrella of Saudi Vision 2030.
