Kuwait welcomes prospects for cooperation between Iran, PG Arab states

Kuwaiti Deputy Foreign Minister Khaled al-Jarallah has welcomed prospects for cooperation between Iran and the Persian Gulf Arab countries to help resolve conflicts in the region.

Dialogue between Iran and the Persian Gulf Arab countries would “contribute effectively to containment of many areas of tension in the region, whether in Yemen or in Syria or anywhere else in our region,” Kuwait’s state news agency, KUNA, quoted Jarallah as saying at a reception at Iran’s embassy in the Arab country.
“This is indeed what we are looking for,” the Kuwaiti official added, noting that dialogue would serve the interests of both Iran and those of the Persian Gulf Arab countries.

The senior Kuwaiti diplomat made the comments in response to Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s comments on the country’s relations with regional states, including those in the Persian Gulf region.

In remarks made in a Tuesday interview with Iranian daily Ettela’at, Zarif said Iran was ready for cooperation with all countries, especially its neighbors.
