They will also discuss the reconstruction effort in Lebanon following a month of fighting between Hezbollah and Israel that began on July 12 and left many parts of Lebanon devastated.
Ahead of the Kuwaiti leader's visit, the United States and Kuwait agreed Wednesday to promote commercial flights between the two countries and cut regulation of airline traffic.
