Sky News Arabia, a 24-hour, Arabic-language rolling news channel broadcasting in HD quality from Abu Dhabi, recently inaugurated its new bureau in Kuwait.

The event was held under the patronage of Sheikh Salman Sabah Al-Salem Al-Humoud Al-Sabah, Minister of Information and Minister of State for Youth Affairs in Kuwait.

The new bureau is anticipated to further strengthen Sky News Arabia’s reach and presence in Kuwait, a key Arab and international media market and a country that plays a significant role in defining the Arab media landscape.

Sheikh Salman Sabah said: “Since its inception, Sky News Arabia has served a pivotal role in regional media with its transparent and unbiased reportage. The channel has consolidated its position in the media landscape through its invaluable contributions to the development of thought and culture in the Arab region. Kuwait has a predominantly open media environment, and we are confident Sky News Arabia will considerably benefit from this liberal policy to provide objective, on-the-ground news coverage.”

Nart Bouran, head of Sky News Arabia, said: “Kuwait has always been present in all our news platforms since we first launched the channel in Abu Dhabi. The Kuwaiti news landscape has been central to us as it has been to the region and the world. Launching our Kuwait bureau today complements our plans to enhance our presence in many Arab and foreign capitals.”

“Sky News Arabia will utilize all its capabilities and partnerships with the Kuwaiti media to deliver a comprehensive coverage of the landscape in Kuwait and its international significance. Our platforms will convey the Arab voice to the world and play their role effectively to serve societies.”

The launch ceremony concluded with Nart Bouran honouring Sheikh Salman Al-Sabah with the Sky News Arabia shield for his presence and participation. – TradeArabia News Service
