The six-decade-long history of diplomatic relations between the two countries has witnessed mutual visits by senior officials in both countries aimed at developing bilateral relations and enhancing cooperation on issues of common interest regionally and globally.
This relationship has become more solid under the leadership of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, who visited the UAE March 5, where he discussed bilateral relations and ways to develop them in all fields with Sheikh Al-Nahyan.
A joint statement was issued following that visit in which the political, consular, diplomatic, economic, commercial, financial, investment, private sector, energy, cybersecurity, communications and technology cooperation between them was praised.

Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Abdullah Al-Yahya visited the UAE on September 2, where he met with Sheikh Al-Nahyan and discussed the solid brotherly relations and ways to enhance them in various fields that serve both countries.
On October 8, His Highness the Amir of Kuwait received the Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister of the UAE, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al-Maktoum, during his official visit to Kuwait.

A medical mission was sent to the Emirates in the year 1962, establishing many centers and hospitals, and a television transmission station called "Kuwait TV from Dubai" was established in Dubai, which began operating in 1969.
The path of relations between the two countries is getting stronger under the directives of wise leadership, in a way that contributes to serving common interests and achieving security, safety, development, and prosperity in their regions. (end)
