Luncheon at the Embassy of Kuwait
In Celebration of Friendship

Rima Al-Sabah, wife of Kuwaiti Ambassador Salem Abdullah Al-Sabah, hosted a luncheon honoring Sheikha Feryal Al-Sabah, wife of Kuwaiti Minister for Foreign Affairs Sheik Mohammed Sabah al-Salem Al-Sabah. The event celebrated friendship between Kuwait and the United States. Guests dined on Middle Eastern delicacies while the hostess read the chapter on “Friendship” from poet Khalil Gibran's “The Prophet.”

“I can only hope to continue in her path and contribute to her legacy of showing that spouses like us are actual partners in diplomacy, “ Rima Al-Sabah told the crowd of 91 women, comprised mainly of the wives of ambassadors and wives of high-ranking government officials. Always a gracious hostess, Rima Al-Sabah placed chocolate tablets at each guest's seat, silk-screened with excerpts from “The Prophet.”
