Iran's FM Mohammad Javad Zarif arrives in Kuwait

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif arrived in Kuwait on Sunday on the first leg of a three-nation tour that will also take him to Qatar and Iraq.

Zarif left Tehran for Kuwait City on Sunday on the first round of his tour of neighboring and Persian Gulf states after the conclusion of nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries.

He is set to hold talks with senior Kuwaiti, Qatari and Iraqi officials on ways to improve bilateral, regional and international cooperation and to take effective approaches toward the battle against terrorism.

The Iranian minister is also scheduled to brief the three countries’ officials on the recent nuclear conclusion reached between Iran and the six world powers in the Austrian capital of Vienna.

During his stay in Kuwait, Zarif will hold talks with Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and Foreign Minister Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah.

The top Iranian diplomat will then pay a short visit to Doha and hold discussions with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and Foreign Minister Khalid bin Mohammad al Attiyah about further expansion of mutual relations.
