According to ambassador, tourists traveling from Kuwait to Azerbaijan intend to take advantage of tourist opportunities of the country, as well as to use the offers within the framework of shopping festival in Baku: “And this is in spite of the fact that Kuwaiti Arabs do not travel much before the month of Ramadan and in the period when the academic year comes to an end”.

At the same time, we provide information about the event at all meetings of the embassy, at all events, to all local and foreign citizens that apply to the consular department. The fact that Azerbaijan has become the fourth country hosting such a festival raises an interest”.

The ambassador recalled that on November 16-17, 2016, Director of the Civil Aviation Authority of Kuwait visited Azerbaijan to sign an agreement on air communication between two countries.
