KUWAIT CITY, July 22: Researcher Fahad Faris Al-Jarba announced that his meeting with Ahmed Al-Jarallah, the Editor-in-Chief of Al-Seyassah and Arab Times newspapers and Dean of Kuwaiti journalism, to discuss documents related to the Red Palace has drawn interest from the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) regarding the palace and its historical significance, reports Al-Seyassah daily.
