8th Egyptian products festival kicks off at Salmiya Co-Operative Society

Under the auspices of the Ambassador of the Egyptian Republic Tariq Mahmoud Mustafa Al-Qoni, the Eighth Festival of Egyptian Products kicked off recently at Salmiya Co-Operative Society.

During his opening speech, Abdulrahman Al-Sharah Chairman of the Board of Salmiya Co-Operative Society told the press that the festival comes from the depth of brotherly relations between the two brotherly countries, which have overcome all barriers where Kuwait is keen to play its national role in increasing Egyptian imports to Kuwait to support the Egyptian economy.

Sharah thanked the Egyptian Ambassador to Kuwait for hosting the festival. He also thanked the Egyptian broadcaster of the Egyptian TV Mohamed Abbas, the Stars of Egyptian Sport, the players Ahmed Nakhla and Shouqi Al-Saeed.

He stressed “I would like to emphasize that the Salmiya Society is keen to ensure the safety and quality of all products before entering the society and offering them for sale.” Adding that the Salmiya Co-Operative Society was the first one to ban the selling of some Egyptian products since the ministerial decision six months ago, like onions, lettuce, guava, potatoes, tomatoes and strawberries “All Egyptian products participating in the festival, whether food or consumption have nothing to do with some products that have been banned.”

Sharah added “The Egyptian Products Festival comes for the eighth year in a row, and the association organizes annually festivals for Arab products for the purpose of supporting them. Soon we will have the sixth festival of Saudi products.” He also stressed on this occasion the full support of young Kuwaiti entrepreneurs and SMEs and he will hold marketing festivals for them in the upcoming days.
