He took the opportunity to acknowledge the instrumental role played by the friendly People’s Republic of China in facilitating and sponsoring the bilateral negotiations that resulted in the decision to reinstate diplomatic ties. He also praised the noteworthy efforts of the Republic of Iraq and the Sultanate of Oman in facilitating this process.
Sheikh Salem Al-Sabah said he is optimistic that this visit will translate into robust relations between the two countries, rooted in mutual respect and envisioned it as the commencement of a promising chapter in the history of Gulf-Iranian relations, characterized by the principles of good neighborliness and non-interference in internal affairs.
This would, in turn, lead to strengthened connections, fostering bridges of dialogue and mutual comprehension. Such efforts, he went on to say, would significantly contribute to the stability, peace, and prosperity of both nations and their peoples. Additionally, he anticipated that this collaboration would stand as a powerful force in confronting future challenges.
It is noteworthy to make a mention that Thursday, Abdollahian made history by becoming the first Iranian Foreign Minister to visit the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, following the accord reached in Beijing to resume diplomatic relations.
