Embassy of Kuwait in Ottawa is the diplomatic mission of Kuwait to Canada. The new embassy building was opened in 2003. It is located on Sussex Drive across the street from what used to be the home of the Canadian War Museum. The site had been home to a gas station until the 1960s, it then served several decades as a parking lot. The new embassy was designed by Ottawa architect Tony Griffiths. Previously the embassy had been based in the same building as the British High Commission.
