Feb. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Zain, Kuwait�s biggest phone company, received a formal $10.7 billion offer from Bharti Airtel Ltd. for most of its African assets, Al-Rai reported, without saying where it got the information.

The offer, which does not include purchasing Zain�s operations in Sudan, is to be discussed soon in a Zain board meeting, the newspaper said.

Zain spokesman Ibrahim Adel declined to comment on the report when contacted by Bloomberg News today. Bharti spokesman Senjam Raj Sekhar didn�t respond to calls made to his mobile phone.
