On 26 October 2026, Mrs. Uraiwan Courtaud, Chargée d’Affaires, a.i. of the Royal Thai Embassy in Kuwait, attended the opening ceremony of the 5th Al-Abdali Farmers Festival at Al-Mawashi Hall in the Al-Rai area. The annual festival seeks to promote local agricultural production, support farmers, and highlight the importance of food security in Kuwait.

On this occasion, the Chargée d’Affaires also held discussions with Mr. Saleh Badar Al-Dhubaib, Supervisor of one of Farmers Associations in the Al-Abdali area, on Kuwait’s agricultural production and efforts to strengthen its food security, as well as opportunities to promote agricultural and food cooperation between Thailand and Kuwait, as Kuwait’s domestic agricultural production currently meets only approximately 5 percent of the country’s total domestic consumption demand.
