Iran and Kuwait pledged to boost economic cooperation during the first visit to Tehran by Kuwaiti Prime Minister Sheikh Nasser Al-Mohammad Al-Sabah, Iranian state media said on Saturday. In reference to disputed Arash gas field in the Gulf, Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi and the Kuwaiti prime minister called for “cooperation in connection to the resolution of the continental shelf issue,” state broadcaster IRIB said. They also discussed boosting trade between the two major oil producers and the resumption of halted projects, IRIB said, without elaborating.
