NUKS-USA cancels last day of conference for security reasons

The 33rd annual conference of the National Union of Kuwait Students (NUKS) - US Branch - cancelled its last day of events due to security reasons. In a letter late Saturday, NUKS affirmed that all the events originally scheduled for the last day - including forums, workshops, closing ceremony, dinner, and concert - have been cancelled to protect the conference’s attendees and participants. The conference kicked off Thursday in San Francisco, California, under the sponsorship of Kuwait’s Minister of Education and Minister of Higher Education Bader Al-Essa, with the attendance of Kuwaiti Ambassador to the US Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah. —KUNA
