Kuwait PM urges Iran to build trust in region

KUWAIT CITY, 26 September 2021, (TON): The prime minister of Kuwait has called on Iran to take serious steps to build trust and start a serious dialogue in the Gulf region based on respect for the sovereignty of neighboring nations and non-interference.

He said “nations in the region must seek to protect maritime commerce and the free movement of goods and ships in the Arabian Gulf.”

Speaking during the 76th session of the UN General Assembly in New York, Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah said such steps will contribute to reducing tension in the region and building ties between the Gulf nations based on cooperation and mutual respect.

He said “such measures will reflect the desire of the people of the region to live in a safe, secure and prosperous condition.”

Alluding to the current tussle between Iran and the international community over its nuclear program, Al-Sabah said that the weakness of the anti-nuclear proliferation regime represented a “existential threat to the region.”
