Chargé d’Affaires of the Iranian Embassy, Ibrahim Norouzi, praised Kuwait’s efforts in helping restore his country’s relations with Saudi Arabia. In a statement to local media, he also commended Kuwait’s role in mediating conflicts and in strengthening regional and international relations.
The chargé d’affaires added, “In light of the importance of cordial relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia to the region, and its international implications, several mediation initiatives were made at the regional and international level to end the seven years of stagnation in relations between the two countries. Kuwait was among the active countries in this regard to help resume ties between Saudi Arabia and Iran.”
He stressed that “Saudi Arabia and Iran decided in the end to pass this stage, and our friends and brothers welcomed this agreement and greeted it warmly.” He added, “The imminent visit of Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan to the Islamic Republic of Iran comes within the framework of exchanging delegations in order to discuss the development and strengthening of bilateral relations between the two countries.”
“The mutual reopening of embassies, political and consular missions of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is an important step towards implementing the Beijing agreement,” said the Iranian Chargé d’Affaires.
He also revealed that the new ambassador of Iran to Kuwait Muhammad Tutonji is expected to arrive in Kuwait in July.
