DOHA, Oct 13, (KUNA): Kuwait’s national Olympic committee finalized an agreement on Sunday with its Spanish counterpart for more cooperation in the sports sector.

The deal, signed on behalf of Kuwait’s Olympic body by its president Sheikh Fahad Nasser Al-Sabah and his opposite number Alejandro Blanco, aims to give impetus to the Kuwaiti Olympic movement through helping athletes hone their skills.

The agreement, which also entails administrative reforms, allows both sides the chance to work together on the international stage.

The International Olympic Committee recently lifted a four-year ban on Kuwait, allowing the Gulf state’s athletes to compete at next year’s Tokyo 2020 Olympics under their country’s flag.
