Kuwait News Agency (KUNA) is an official state news wire service based in Kuwait.

History and structure

KUNA was established in 1956.[1] It was reorganized in 1976 as an independent body.[2][3] However, it functions as a branch of the Ministry of Information,[2][4] although it has an independent budget.[5]

The agency has a section with the title of Health and Environment which covers regularly updated news on environmental issues.[6]

As of 2009 the news agency had offices and correspondents in 33 countries.[5]
