A senior Kuwaiti official stressed Kuwait is willing to cooperate with Iran in resolving regional problems.
Pointing to the latest remarks by Iranian officials welcoming regional collaboration, Kuwaiti Deputy Foreign Minister Khalid Aljarallah hailed the “positive reaction of Iranian friends”, ISNA reported.
“We are becoming increasingly confident that the Syria problem can only be resolved through political efforts,” he said.
On Russian airstrikes against Syrian militants that started Sept. 30, he said Kuwait believes these attacks will further complicate the crisis, but there is always a chance for achieving a peaceful solution.
Kuwait’s Foreign Minister Sabah Al Khalid Al Sabah had said last week that members of the (Persian) Gulf Cooperation Council are open to talks with Iran to build mutual understanding.
Following the remarks, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian welcomed the proposal for holding regional talks, and said Tehran “is always ready for serious negotiations and interaction with the regional countries.”
