DOHA: The Kuwaiti-Qatari Relations Exhibition at Katara Cultural Village concluded yesterday with more visitors including local heritage enthusiasts and dignitaries.

The five-day long exhibition which was organised in coordination with the Kuwaiti Expo 965 Team for heritage exhibitions, received VIP visitors including diplomats, dignitaries and some public figures.

The participants in the exhibition praised the efforts made by Katara to making this exhibition happen and providing  chance for the “Expo965” Team to be in Qatar.

The exhibition enabled heritage enthusiasts and artisans in Qatar to interact and exchange expertise with the Kuwaiti heritage collectors.

It also carried a message of friendship and brotherhood to Qatari people by displaying old commercial correspondences between the two nations which document their strong relations.

In the past five days, the exhibition showcased some artifacts, rare documents and manuscripts that date back to the beginning of the 20th century and consisted an archive of over two million documents about Kuwait and the Gulf States, some dating back to more than 200 years. The archive also included a collection of some rare Kuwaiti official documents such as passports issued during the reign of Sheikh Abdallah bin Sabah in 1887.

The exhibition reflected the strength of the Qatari-Kuwaiti relations and brotherhood and the mutual heritage and history they share.
