The United States and Kuwait are working collectively towards the common goal of a stable, secure, and prosperous Middle East. Kuwait is also a vital U.S. partner on a wide range of regional security issues and a leader in the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS. The United States works with Kuwait and other members of the Gulf Cooperation Council to increase cooperation on border security, maritime security, arms transfers, cybersecurity, and counterterrorism. The access, basing, and overflight privileges granted by Kuwait facilitate U.S. and Global Coalition partners in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), as well as operations against al-Qa’ida, and their regional and global affiliates.
