Foreign Policy

Kuwait's foreign policy emphasizes multilateralism, mediation, and humanitarian aid. It mediated the 2017 Gulf crisis between Qatar and the Saudi-led bloc. Kuwait is a major humanitarian donor and has hosted international pledging conferences for Syria, Iraq, and other crises. Its security policy relies on the U.S. alliance, with significant American military presence in-country. Kuwait maintains balanced relations within the GCC and avoids taking aggressive positions against Iran.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Kuwait, position yourself as a mediator and humanitarian leader within the Gulf and Arab world. Emphasize multilateralism and the importance of the UN system -- Kuwait's liberation validated collective security.

Leverage your humanitarian aid record and sovereign wealth for diplomatic goodwill. On Gulf disputes, offer to mediate rather than take sides. Support Palestinian rights through the Arab Group. Highlight the lessons of the 1990 invasion to advocate for sovereignty and non-aggression norms. Coordinate with GCC partners while maintaining your independent mediating voice.
