25 May 2017 Kuwait

Kuwait is looking forward to implementing “Vision 2035” where government eyes development of various transport sectors, electricity and information technology. This development will be through the projects of the airport, railways, metro, bridges, seaports and desalination plants and modern networks, as part of a sophisticated infrastructure pillar.

Infrastructure is a main pillar to achieve the new vision as it has a close connection with the desire of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah aiming to transform Kuwait into an international financial and commercial hub so as to attract investments. For achieving this move, His Highness the Amir laid on May 9 the cornerstone for the new terminal at Kuwait International Airport in the presence of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

As a result, the government has prioritized the sophisticated infrastructure as part of its programs to direct big investments in this field to be in line with worldclass standards in order to help Kuwait meet its future aspirations and achieve sustainable development.

The Kuwaiti government is keen on developing infrastructure, as it is the backbone of all economic and social activities in civilized societies for achieving development and welfare. Kuwait has worked on investing in the development of infrastructure to be one of the top performing countries at the economic level, as it is a key factor of attracting national and foreign direct investments. This contributes to increasing GDP by raising efficiency and productivity of capital.

The government has set out some targets to achieve the modern infrastructure represented in increasing the capacity of Kuwait International Airport, tackling traffic problem, developing the North of Kuwait as an economic and urban area and connecting it with neighboring countries, raising capacity of ports and meeting growing demands for electricity.

The infrastructure includes five programs topped with developing air transport system, which aims to speed up capacity of Kuwait International Airport through executing a new Class A passenger terminal in accordance with international standards. It accommodates for 25 million passengers upon the completion of all phases.
