ROME -- Minister of Oil and Information Sheikh Ahmad Abdullah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah on Monday stressed the government's commitment towards developing Kuwaiti human resources which he regarded as "the main resource of the state." The minister made the comment shortly after arriving in the Italian capital, Rome's Ciampino Airport, where he had arrived from Brussels.
The visit is part of a European tour that also included the Netherlands in order to inspect Kuwaiti oil investments in these countries.
The minister in his current visit will meet employees working at Q8 Petroleum Italia S.p.a.; a Kuwaiti government-owned company which has several petrol stations and an oil refinery in Italy.
The minister said that his meeting with the company's administration will focus on its strategy and operations and acquiring its targets, while getting familiar with the challenges of the Italian market and solutions to these obstacles.
"The company's Kuwaiti employees have a huge significance and Kuwait is dedicated to developing them as a national wealth," noted the minister.
