Kuwaiti Speaker Hails Iran Visit as "Fruitful"

TEHRAN (FNA)- Speaker of Kuwait's National Assembly Jassem Al-Kharafi lauded the outcomes of his recent visit to Iran as "fruitful and successful".
Speaking to reporters about his recent visit to Tehran, Al-Kharafi said, "The tour was so successful that there was good and fruitful dialogue with the Iranian parliament speaker (Ali Larijani)."

He said he had met with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on how to further reinforce and cement cooperative relations between Kuwait and Iran and parliament-to-parliament relations.

He said both sides were eager to provide a healthy atmosphere for ensuring regional security and stability and wiping out potential fears and tensions.

Al-Kharafi was in Tehran to attend the recent Fifth International Conference in Support of the Palestinian Intifada.

Asked if he had discussed with Iranian officials the issue of the continental shelf between Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Iran, he said that he was impressed by Iran's keenness on resolving the problem.

He hoped that both sides would sign a relevant agreement during a possible visit to Iran by Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah at the invitation of the Iranian president with a view to bolstering bilateral ties.
