(C) Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) Under Secretary Khaled
Al-Jarallah gave Ambassador an overview of Turkish Prime
Minister Tayyip Erdogan's October 25 visit to Kuwait. During
an October 30 meeting at the MFA, Al-Jarallah reported that
Erdogan "came with a good spirit," focusing primarily on
economic and commercial issues. The PM, who traveled to
several GCC countries with a delegation of Turkish
businesspeople, promoted bilateral economic, trade and
investment ties with Prime Minister Shaykh Sabah Al-Ahmed
Al-Jaber Al-Sabah and Kuwaiti private sector leaders, the U/S
reported. As a next step, Al-Jarallah predicted, the Kuwaitis
and Turks soon would welcome reciprocal commercial
delegations. Current Kuwaiti investors include the Al-Shaya
family who owns the Starbucks franchise for the Middle East
including locations in the Republic of Turkey.
