Kuwait’s Third Wall Demolished for Urban Development

Kuwait city: Kuwait's historic third wall, initially constructed in 1920 to safeguard the nation, has been dismantled to facilitate urban expansion. The removal marks a significant shift in the landscape of Kuwait City, paving the way for modern infrastructure.

According to Kuwait News Agency, several milestones in Kuwait's history have shaped its current landscape. In 1967, Kuwait Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Salem Al-Sabah signed a decree that established the country's sixth government. This administration included 13 ministers and was headed by Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah.

In 1995, Kuwait mourned the loss of renowned writer and historian Abdullah Al-Hatem, who passed away at the age of 79. He was instrumental in founding the Kuwait Writers' Association, leaving a lasting legacy in the literary and historical communities.

In 2013, the Sabah Al-Ahmad Urology Center was inaugurated by Kuwait Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah in the Al-Sabah Health District, marking a significant advancement in the country's healthcare facilities.

The Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has also played a pivotal role in the nation's development. In 2018, the company inaugurated Gas Booster Station 171, a project designed to enhance the quality of national gas production. By 2021, KOC announced a reduction in natural gas burn to below one percent, achieved through the efficient use of hydrocarbons in compliance with international Health, Safety, and Environment standards.
