Vietnam’s First Lady strengthens cultural ties on historic Kuwait visit
Lê Thị Bích Trân, spouse of Vietnamese Prime Minister Phạm Minh Chính, recently visited Kuwait as part of an official delegation. During her trip, she explored cultural landmarks, met with Kuwaiti officials, and engaged with local communities to strengthen ties between the two nations.
Trân began her visit at the Al-Salam Palace Museum, a 15,000-square-metre landmark restored and reopened in 2019. There, she and Sheikha Mona Abdullah Mashari Al-Kulaib, spouse of Kuwait’s Prime Minister, received detailed briefings and toured the museum’s exhibition spaces. The site is dedicated to preserving and showcasing Kuwaiti culture.
Later, Trân met with Kuwait’s Minister for Social Affairs, Labour, Family and Youth, Amthal Al-Huwaila. Their discussions focused on women’s roles in society, family welfare, and child protection. Trân commended Kuwait’s policies in these areas and highlighted Việt Nam’s interest in learning from its approaches.
The delegation also visited the Asma Bint Yazid Al Ansariyah Primary School for Girls. Trân and Al-Huwaila observed the school’s teaching methods and interacted with pupils. Before leaving, Trân presented gifts reflecting Việt Nam’s cultural identity and extended her best wishes to the teachers and students.
Both sides agreed to deepen people-to-people exchanges in culture, arts, cuisine, and heritage preservation. These efforts mark the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Việt Nam and Kuwait.
The visit reinforced cooperation in social and cultural fields. Trân’s engagements included high-level meetings, educational exchanges, and a shared commitment to celebrating bilateral ties. The discussions and activities laid groundwork for future collaboration between the two countries.
