The Higher Organizing Committee of the 'Hala February 2015' Festival announced here on Saturday that it would honor the Kuwaiti poet Dr. Suad Al-Sabah within the upcoming festival's activities in recognition of her role and efforts in support of culture in the Arab world, community service and in the encouragement of science and scientists.
Waleed Al-Saqoubi, member of the Supreme Committee and head of the media committee of the festival, said in a press statement that honoring Dr. Suad Al-Sabah during the festival, which kicks off next January 8, also comes as a result of her leading role in encouraging the Arab youth on the literary, scientific and artistic creativity.
He recalled Dr. Suad's launching of many initiatives and incentive awards in the scientific, literary and artistic fields, especially the Fine Arts and her role in linking the Arab culture with the western one through an annual award in London for the best English literature on the Middle East.
He added that Dr. Suad is a valuable literary and cultural personality locally and regionally and has published several books and works in poetry, literature and economics fields, in addition to her practice of fine art, in which she excelled since her early literary presence so far, thus, enabling her to find for herself and for the Kuwaiti women a prominent place among the giants of Arab literature of poets and artists.
