During an official visit to Kuwait, Nissan President and CEO Carlos Ghosn visited the Nissan Gallery, a one-of-a-kind destination in the Middle East. Located at the Virgin Megastore in Marina Mall, the Nissan Gallery showcases Nissan’s latest models in a dynamic retail environment.
During the visit, Ghosn met with Nissan customers and enthusiasts and participated in a special signing session for his latest book, ‘SHIFT: Inside Nissan’s Historic Revival.’
While visiting the Nissan Gallery, Ghosn was asked to be the first to sign the hood of a brand-new Nissan Murano and to launch a global fund-raising initiative for charities in Kuwait. The special signing starts a 2 month tour where world leaders and celebrities will be invited to add their signatures on the same hood.
Once the global tour is complete, the unique autographed Murano will be auctioned in Kuwait. Funds realized from the auction will be presented to local charities on behalf of Kuwait’s sole Nissan distributor, Abdulmohsen Abdulaziz Al Babtain Co.
“We are privileged to support this initiative,” said Carlos Ghosn. “Al Babtain and his organization have worked hard to build the Nissan presence in Kuwait, and this gesture demonstrates strong commitment to the local community,” continued Ghosn.
Abdulmohsen Abdulaziz Al Babtain Companies also confirmed its commitment to add innovation and value to Kuwait society. Mr. Saleh Al Babtain, Vice Chairman & CEO of Al Babtain Group, said, “Kuwait knows to expect the unexpected from Abdulmohsen Abdulaziz Al Babtain Co.”
