PAAAFR, FAO to execute key projects in Kuwait

KUWAIT CITY, May 25, (KUNA): Kuwait is taking serious measures to protect the environment and natural resources, said Minister of Public Works and Minister of National Assembly Affairs Ali Al-Omair.

“Implementing the articles of the environment protection law and setting a number of restrictions is vital to protect our resources,” said Al-Omair at a ceremony held by Kuwait Environment Protection Society to celebrate the “International Day for Biological Diversity” late Tuesday.

The minister, meanwhile, stressed on the role of environment law in achieving sustainable development and protecting different life forms in Kuwait.

Meanwhile, the Public Authority of Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAAFR) have signed agreements with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to execute several key projects in Kuwait.

The agreement involves projects to develop fish stock, establishing a training center run by FAO and a fodder evaluation program, deputy director general at PAAAFR Faisal Al-Sideeqi said in a press statement on Wednesday.

He added that the two bodies also agreed on setting gardens containing plants of all environments for the purpose of educating people and protecting endangered species, while promoting tourism and investment.
