On behalf of the European Union Delegation to Kuwait, I would like to extend my warmest congratulations to Kuwait Times newspaper on its 63rd anniversary. We appreciate the excellent collaboration with Kuwait Times since the opening of the EU Delegation more than five years ago. The European Union firmly believes in the importance of free, independent and pluralistic media, inside Europe and around the world. Therefore, the EU Delegation in Kuwait values the work of independent media in delivering accurate news in a timely fashion. This plays an important role in shaping public debate on many issues that are relevant to the people. We wish Kuwait Times success for many years to come.
