Business talks to dominate Kuwait visit

President Václav Klaus begins a three day state visit to the oil and gas rich state of Kuwait on Sunday. He is due to meet the Gulf state’s ruler, the sultan, head of the national assembly, prime minister and members of the cabinet. The visit has an overwhelmingly economic and business dimension with the president accompanied by a large Czech delegation seeking to boost ties and land contracts. The Czech delegation includes representatives from engineering, rubber, optics, arms and wood processing companies.
