Most guests wore traditional Arab dresses and among those attending were the manager of Kuwait Airways and the head of a Kuwaiti NGO in Pakistan.

The ambassador was gifted a beautiful, framed calligraphy piece on a large canvas and in gold letters, of an Arabic poem by Dr Ali Earoom.

The ambassador said he was sad at leaving Pakistan, a country him and his family had enjoyed for many years.

`We will make a short visit home in Kuwait and then on to Armenia, which is my next duty station,` the envoy said.

`Armenian winters are a bit colder than Pakistan`s,` a diplomat from another country joked, `but for a Kuwaiti, that is alright because of the heat and the warm weather at home`.
