Kuwaiti telecoms group MTC has renewed its partnership agreement with UK-based Vodafone for another two years. The original deal saw the Gulf operator adopting the MTC-Vodafone brand in Kuwait during 2002. The agreement was extended when MTC secured the rights to launch a new mobile network in Bahrain in 2003, MTC-Vodafone Bahrain. Under the terms of the deal MTC has access to Vodafone’s international roaming services and shared marketing initiatives.
