Kuwait Media (MINISTRY OF INFORMATION)

Since 1990, information centres and offices have been established in Washington, London, Paris, New Delhi, Beirut, Tunisia, Algeria, Amman & Morocco.

The objectives of Kuwait Information Centres and offices operating abroad are:

To project Kuwait’s presence at official or popular levels; and to obtain a permanent space in all mass media in the host countries to promote a complete image of Kuwait.
To showcase Kuwaiti achievements in all spheres -- political, economic, social and cultural --- and in all aspects -- domestic, Gulf, Arab, Islamic and world.
To inform public opinion in the host, and to correct misinformation about Kuwait transmitted by mass media in these countries.
To seek permanent communication with all public sectors in those countries as a means of achieving closeness and harmony between Kuwaitis and the people of those countries.
To participate in relations of humanitarian and social nature in the countries where such centres are located, at the regional and international levels.
To set up cultural and information-related relations with country-based information centres and offices for:

exchange of news, as well as cultural, religious and entertainment programmes.
study of necessary and basic procedures for concluding agreements related to information, research, training organisations and exchange of technicians, journalists and specialists in all mass media.
provision of necessary documents, collections, writings and publications, to such countries, for information about Kuwait's culture and civilisation.
establishment of close cooperation with news agencies and increasing the exchange of newspapers, magazines and publications.
participation in all forms of joint production in the fields of radio, television and cinema.

International Media Centres and offices, in coordination with International Media Departments in the Ministry of Information, explain and showcase Kuwaiti policy, history, culture and art, and its active role on the Arab, Islamic and international arena. This is done through participation in information fairs, seminars and lectures. The Media Centres also coordinate with each other in sending invitations on national and special occasions to the press and to luminaries in other fields. They also coordinate with each other when initiating contracts with specialised information institutions to implement specific programmes.
