DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Future of the Kuwaiti Defense Industry - Market Attractiveness, Competitive Landscape and Forecasts to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Kuwait remains wary of the resurgence of Islamic State (IS) in neighboring Iraq with which shares a long border and continues to face the threat of IS infiltration.
Although the influence of IS reduced significantly by 2017, IS extremists, which in the past orchestrated an attack on Imam Sadiq mosque in the Al Sawabir area of Kuwait City, can regroup and launch strikes on other targets within Kuwait. Thus Kuwait is expected to invest heavily in securing its frontiers to prevent illegal infiltration.
