The 30-member oil and gas delegation organized by the Alberta Ministry of International an Intergovernmental Relations, Export Development Canada, and Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada will visit Kuwait with the aim of promoting collaboration while exploring new business partnerships between the two countries, the embassy said.
In their meetings with Kuwaiti representatives, the Canadian delegation expects to present latest innovative technology that could be useful in Kuwait's hydrocarbon industry.
