Kuwaiti Speaker Stresses Strengthening of Ties with Tehran
TEHRAN , April 20 (FNA)- Kuwait's National Assembly Speaker Jassem Mohammad al-Kharafi in a phone conversation with his Iranian counterpart Ali Larijani underlined his country's enthusiasm for the further reinvigoration of relations with Tehran.
"Under the present difficult conditions many conspirators do not want our brotherly ties to be consolidated, (but) we like further strengthening and expansion of ties between the two countries," Kharafi said on Monday evening.
During the talks, Larijani underscored the positive views of the Iranian government and parliament to the development of brotherly cooperation between Iran and Kuwait, and said, "Devils should not be allowed to damage the friendly and close ties between the two countries."
He also expressed his condolences to his Kuwaiti counterpart over the death of his brother.
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.
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.
