Kuwait–Turkey relations are foreign relations between Turkey and Kuwait. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Turkey describes the current relations as being at "outstanding levels".[1] Bilateral trade between the two countries in 2016 was estimated to be worth around US$700 million by the Turkish Deputy Prime Minister, Mehmet Simek.[2]
The two countries have recently signed fifteen agreements for cooperation in tourism, health, environment, economy, commercial exchange and oil.[3]
When Turkey was struck by an earthquake in 2011, Kuwait donated 250,000 dollars for the victims through the UN Development Programme (UNDP).[4]
In October 2018 Turkey and Kuwait signed a joint defense plan for 2019 aimed at enhancing military cooperation between the two countries.[5]
History
Kuwait used to be under Ottoman rule until Kuwait made a British protectorate in 1899 named Anglo-Kuwaiti Agreement of 1899
