The main aim of the Press and Public Affairs (PPA) section is to promote a positive image of the United Kingdom and its policies in Kuwait. We do this in a variety of ways, including the tried and tested means of press releases, publications, publicity materials, radio and TV interviews by various members of the Embassy. We deal with all enquiries from journalists as well as members of the general public.  

We also arrange media interviews for visiting British Government Ministers and officials and distribute speeches made by British Ministers. The Embassy is happy to give interviews and briefings about the British Government and its policies or indeed about any event with which the British Embassy is involved.
