A day for the doors, mats, shoes, keys, steps, and greetings that mark the passage between the world and home.
The day commemorates the establishment of Kuwait's modern civil service and government bureaucracy. Kuwait's government is the largest employer of Kuwaiti citizens, and the public sector is the backbone of the national economy. The day is not a public holiday but is recognized internally by government ministries, which hold ceremonies honoring long-serving employees. The Kuwaiti civil service is known for its efficiency relative to the region, and the Kuwaiti passport is ranked among the most powerful in the world, a product of decades of diplomatic work by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
