Qatar and Kuwait have always enjoyed strong brotherly relations, which have been boosted by Kuwait's unwavering support to Qatar ever since the Gulf crisis erupted.

The two nations have pledged support and cooperation in several areas including political, economic, trade, investment, military and security cooperation, education, tourism, and art.

Earlier this year, upon the directives of HH the Amir, Qatar officially launched the Sabah Al Ahmad Corridor project, in appreciation of the Kuwaiti Amir, reflecting the strength of the relationship between the two nations.

Qatar and Kuwait continue to strengthen their bond. As part of an official meeting held between His Excellency the Chairman of Qatar's National Human Rights Committee (NHRC) Dr Ali bin Smaikh Al Marri and HE Chairman of the National Bureau for Human Rights of the State of Kuwait, Ambassador Jassim Mubarak Al Mubaraki, the two countries have pledged to boost cooperation in the field of human rights.
