Thursday's meetings between the Kuwaiti and Dutch parliamentarians were "fruitful and successful," said the ambassador, who hosted a banquet at his residence here Thursday night in honour of a five-member Kuwaiti parliamentary delegation visiting Netherlands.
"I as the ambassador of the State of Kuwait am very happy about this visit and about the results of this visit," Al-Ajmi told the Kuwait news agency, KUNA.
The ambassador noted that the discussions covered a number of issues with the focus on the vast development projects in Kuwait and the possible participation of Dutch compa nies in this development.
The talks included bilateral Dutch-Kuwaiti parliamentary ties, Al-Ajmi said, adding that the Kuwaiti legislators extended an invitation to the speaker of the Dutch parliament by the speaker of Kuwait's National Assembly Jassem Al-Kharafi to visit Kuwait at the earliest possibility.
The two sides exchanged views on what is called the Arab Spring and on the current developments in the Middle East.
Al-Ajmi described the atmosphere of the meetings as "very warm and friendly." Saleh Ahmad Ashoor led the Kuwaiti delegation to the meeting of the Dutch-Kuwaiti Parliament Friendship Group, held on Thursday, at the Dutch parliament.
The delegation included MPs Dulaihi Saad Al-Hajri, Shuaib Shabab Almuwazri, Hussein Mazyad Al-Dehani and Ghanim Ali Almia.
