Iranian FM to Visit Kuwait Tomorrow
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi is due to visit Kuwait on Wednesday to confer with the country's officials on the bilateral ties and the latest developments in the region.
"The visit will take place in pursuance of the moves made by the diplomatic apparatus to consult and exchange views with the regional countries on bilateral relations and regional issues," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast said in his weekly press conference in Tehran on Tuesday.
Salehi had earlier on Saturday confirmed his trip to Kuwait, and said, "I will most likely visit Kuwait this week."
Iran and Kuwait enjoy cordial diplomatic relations. After Iran came under increasing pressure from the West in recent years over its civilian nuclear program, Kuwait demanded the US to respect Iranian sovereignty and seek a diplomat solution to the matter.
In February, Iran and Kuwait inked an agreement to consolidate the industrial and customs relations between the two neighboring countries.
Also, Tehran and Kuwait City reached an economic agreement in the final day of the 10th meeting of Iran-Kuwait trade committee held in the Iranian capital city of Tehran.
Tehran has in recent years stepped up its efforts to establish and boost ties with the neighboring states, the Persian Gulf littoral states in particular.
