U.S.-Arab Chamber Supports "Discover America" Festival in Kuwait

posted on: Jul 3, 2013

The National U.S.-Arab Chamber of Commerce (NUSACC) this week partnered with the U.S. Commercial Service in support of the “Discover America Festival,” which wrapped up yesterday in the State of Kuwait. The five-day event showcased over 100 American entities in such sectors as education, franchising, health, security, tourism, and a wide range of consumer products. NUSACC served as a Gold Sponsor of the Festival, which was organized by the U.S. Embassy, Mabanee, the American Business Council of Kuwait, LOYAC youth association, and The Avenues (Kuwait’s largest mall).

The Festival coincided with a visit by Hon. John Kerry, U.S. Secretary of State, who was making his first visit to the State of Kuwait since assuming his position as America’s top diplomat. While much of Secretary Kerry’s visit was dedicated to discussions about the situation in Syria, Iran’s recent elections, and his “shuttle diplomacy” in support of the peace process, America’s commercial interests were also near the top of his agenda.
