He stated that Kuwait is a land of giving, known for its humanitarian initiatives since before its independence. Artist Saad Al-Faraj said in his speech that the national holidays are an occasion to recall the history of the homeland and what the women and men of Kuwait have given to this country in various circumstances, calling on university students to arm themselves with science and knowledge and return the favor to their country at all levels and represent it in international forums. —KUNA
