Art and culture are reflective of the status of any given nation and plays an integral role in diplomacy, said Foreign Minister Sheikh Salem Abdullah Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Delivering a speech at the opening of the “Art and Diplomacy.. Kuwait’s Shared Language” conference, Sheikh Salem — who delivered a speech on part of the patron of the event His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Nawaf Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah — said that “art is not only integral to diplomacy, it is also complimentary to it”.<\/p>\n

The event, held at the Amricani Cultural Center, celebrated the 40th anniversary of establishing Dar Al-Athar Al-Islamiyyah cultural organization.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Salem recalled a “somber moment in history” when the US confronted the devastating terrorist attack on its homeland on September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n

“At that time, I had only been the Ambassador in Washington for three weeks… But in a timely stand of solidarity, Kuwait’s Cultural Envoys, Sheikha Hessa (Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah) and the Late Sheikh Nasser (Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah) launched a Dar Al-Athaar exhibition at the Met in New York, not far from ground zero,” indicated Sheikh Salem.<\/p>\n

During that critical moment in history, Sheikha Hessa said, “We are showing Islam’s truth of tolerance, affection and culture.” “At a time of fear, that Exhibition brought us together… When our American friends were in pain, that Exhibition sought to console them. Ladies and Gentlemen, that exhibition in 2001 was a true testimony to the intersection of Art and Diplomacy,” Sheikh Salem affirmed.<\/p>\n

The Minister took the moment to thank both Sheikha Hessa and late Sheikh Nasser for their patronage of Dar Al-Athar Al-Islamiyyah, which became a beacon for all those eager to exchange culture and understanding amongst people of the world.<\/p>\n

On his part, Acting Secretary General of the National Council for Arts, Culture, and Letter (NCCAL) Dr. Mohammad Al-Jassar indicated that both Sheikh Nasser and Sheikha Hessa began their cultural collection in 1973, before establishing the Dar Al-Athar Al-Islamiya in 1983.<\/p>\n

The cultural organization had played an integral role in promoting the cause of Kuwait during the Iraqi invasion of 1990, revealed Al-Jassar who noted that Dar Al-Athar Al-Islamiyyah continued to organize exhibitions during this dark period in Kuwait’s history.<\/p>\n

This artistic and cultural diplomacy maintained Kuwait’s presence in the international scene, affirmed the official.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
