History
Kuwait–Syria relations became somewhat strained due to the Syrian Civil War after Kuwait closed its embassies along with the rest of the Arab States of the Persian Gulf. Bilaterial relations have since come to focus on humanitarian efforts for Syria instead. For example, Kuwait has hosted three international pledging conferences in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016 raising 1.5bn, 2.4bn, 3.8bn, and 10bn respectively.
While countries like the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have begun to normalize relations with Syria's Assad. Kuwait has remained weary.
Kuwait was one of the countries who did not want Syria to join the Arab League, a position held by Qatar, Yemen, and Morocco.
