The MoU is based on longstanding historical ties and solid fraternal relations between the leaderships and peoples of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Its goal is to strengthen relations as part of the two countries' ongoing efforts to improve bilateral relations across different cultural aspects and to promote international cultural exchange, which aligns with the objectives of the National Culture Strategy under the umbrella of Saudi Vision 2030.
