The Kuwait National Day celebrations have long been a highlight on the diplomatic circuit and this year was no exception. As always the hugely popular Ambassador of Kuwait and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Mr Khaled Al Duwaisan, was in top form welcoming friends and grandees including fellow ambassadors and members of Parliament with a broad smile and a hug. As the band played traditional music, guests tucked into a sumptuous Middle Eastern buffet, underlining Kuwait’s reputation for warm hospitality.
