THE LATE QUEEN SPONSORED CONSOLIDATION AND ROOTING OF RELATIONS BETWEEN KUWAIT AND BRITAIN

  • 09/09/2022

Kuwait City: Throughout the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, the distinguished and exceptional relationship between the State of Kuwait and the United Kingdom was established. This relationship, rooted for decades, branched out to include various fields of political, economic, military, cultural and tourism cooperation, until it became similar to the heart and the ribs that surrounded it. Kuwait is the beating heart of the Gulf and Britain is the ribs that surrounds this heart and protects it from any attack.


This beautiful expressionist metaphor was embodied more than once and in more than one position by the United Kingdom, which has sought and still seeks to protect Kuwait from external dangers since the end of the 18th century.

The Kuwaiti-British relations have already become a model in the relations between countries, as they are close, historical and excellent relations that go beyond political relations in depth and strength. The royal family in Britain and the ruling family in Kuwait, which is considered the main engine of its development, and the nature of these relations is reflected in a number of high-level mutual visits between them. His Highness the late Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad visited Britain in 2012 and 2016, and many members of the royal family visited Kuwait on various occasions, led by Queen Elizabeth, who visited Kuwait 40 years ago, specifically in 1979.

Bilateral relations between the two countries date back to before 1899, when many British travelers and merchants visited Kuwait from the middle of the 18th century, but the Treaty of Friendship, which was actually signed in 1899, was a turning point and a true expression of the strength and depth of bilateral relations, especially in the field of defense. and security, and since that time Britain had stood side by side with Kuwait, sending a British force to protect Kuwait immediately after the signing of the intermediary.
