- Title:
- File 53/88 (D 157) Shaikh of Kuwait's Visit to England
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence between British officials regarding trips abroad made by Shaikh Aḥmad al-Jābir Āl Ṣabāḥ, the ruler of Kuwait. Much of the correspondence concerns an unofficial trip that Shaikh Aḥmad made to England in 1935 during which he met King George V. On his return from this visit, Shaikh Aḥmad also visited Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Egypt and these visits are also mentioned in the file.
The correspondence also discusses a request made by Shaikh Aḥmad in 1939 to make an official visit to India as well as proposed trips to Lebanon, Palestine, Karachi and Bahrain in 1940 (none of which appear to have happened).
