🇰🇼 Kuwait Meeting Culture

Kuwaiti business meetings emphasize personal relationships, respect for hierarchy, and indirect communication.

  • Schedule meetings in advance and avoid Fridays or Ramadan. Prepare thoroughly and understand seniority.
  • Punctuality is expected, though meetings may start late. Greetings involve handshakes and titles.
  • Meetings start with small talk and progress slowly. Decisions are centralized with senior executives.
  • Written follow-ups are recommended; patience is essential.
